no, not on policy development.
start with INFORMATIONAL WG.

  we had discussion on this topic at ccTLD constituency in Cairo, and 
  concluded to recommend to have the informational WG to DNSO starting 
  from July 2000 after we receive the "final draft of IETF idn WG on 
  requirement", but not at Cairo DNSO Meeting, which we believe is
  premature.

  IETF has to look into the technical issue first to find out if the
  mulitilingaul domain names are feasible technically.  Having the
  policy development without investigation on the technical issues is
  premature.

  At the same time, there are much development and deployment of the
  multilingual domain names throughout the world.  Therefore, we should
  recommend to have INFORMATIONAL WG first at the next ICANN DNSO meeting
  in July 2000, which would identify the issues related to the policy
  development as well as other relevant issues.
