Not that it matters, I wasn't replying to Shane's message but a later
message which had "perhaps you feel IPv6 is not important" in it,
insinuating that anyone not "for IPv6" was "against IPv6."

The place to direct comments is the administration of the TLD.

The contacts listed on the web site are, for the most part, the place to
go with comments.  (That is what the TLDs registered as their official
contacts.)

There are IDN gTLDs and IDN ccTLDs.  The IDN ccTLD process is described
here:

With a bit of background on how the process came to be:

That ought to provide background on the decisions.
