The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'Internationalized Domain Names in Applications (IDNA): Registry Restrictions and Recommendations' <draft-klensin-idna-rfc5891bis-04.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 2019-08-30. 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 The IDNA specifications for internationalized domain names combine rules that determine the labels that are allowed in the DNS without violating the protocol itself and an assignment of responsibility, consistent with earlier specifications, for determining the labels that are allowed in particular zones. Conformance to IDNA by registries and other implementations requires both parts. Experience strongly suggests that the language describing those responsibilities was insufficiently clear to promote safe and interoperable use of the specifications and that more details and discussion of circumstances would have been helpful. Without making any substantive changes to IDNA, this specification updates two of the core IDNA documents (RFC 5980 and 5891) and the IDNA explanatory document (RFC 5894) to provide that guidance and to correct some technical errors in the descriptions. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-klensin-idna-rfc5891bis/ When IESG discussion has begun, it can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-klensin-idna-rfc5891bis/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. The document contains these normative downward references.
