I didn't say the *IDN WG* itself could change that. What I said was "Would there be any way to get the policy on the format of internet drafts to be amended to allow UTF-8? It is pretty painful trying to read documents when the actual characters cannot be used."
I have no idea what the process that the Powers That Be have for deciding the formats for internet drafts. I simply hope that that policy gets changed, since it has gotten to the point that anyone who wants to can read and write UTF-8 documents; various tools to do so are free and easily available.
