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.
