The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'IDNA2008 and Unicode 11.0.0' <draft-faltstrom-unicode11-07.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2019-03-05. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document describes the changes between Unicode 6.3.0 and Unicode 11.0.0 in the context of IDNA2008. It further suggests a path forward for the IETF to ensure IDNA2008 follows the evolution of the Unicode Standard. Some changes have been made in the Unicode Standard related to the algorithm IDNA2008 specifies. IDNA2008 allows adding exceptions to the algorithm for backward compatibility; however, this document makes no such changes. Thus this document requests that IANA update the tables to Unicode 11. The document also recomments that all DNS registries continue the practice of calculating a repertoire using conservatism and inclusion principles. TO BE REMOVED AT TIME OF PUBLICATION AS AN RFC: This document is discussed on the [email protected] mailing list of the IETF. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-faltstrom-unicode11/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-faltstrom-unicode11/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
