[Servercert-wg] Voting Period Begins for Ballot SC48 v2: Domain Name and IP Address Encoding

[Yoshiro YONEYA]

JPRS abstains from voting Ballot SC48v2.

**-- style domain names registered before IDNA2003 are still legitimate, 
therefore, domain owners of such domain names will be suffered from this revision.  Fundamentally, we support this direction but we can't say 'YES' positively at this moment.

Best regards,
