is of interest to everyone to understand what is the real situation.

I suggest everyone to access the archives of that ICANN list dedicated to 
the IDNA deployment.
http://forum.icann.org/lists/idn-discuss/
1. one welcome
2. one broadcast
3. three phishing mails

This is why this list should probably be moved elsewhere when it starts 
discussing real issues.
