We've all known IDN have been a good and necessary thing for the last decade, that's what we've all punted on.

I'm not knocking the report, its actually very comprehensive and well written, and gives good coverage to IDNs, but at this stage of the game, we need action not reports. There is waiting and there is ... way too much waiting. Most of us here have suffered the latter with ICANT and VeriNoSign.
