The IESG has approved the following document: - 'IDNA2008 and Unicode 12.0.0' (draft-faltstrom-unicode12-07.txt) as Proposed Standard This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Murray Kucherawy. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-faltstrom-unicode12/ Technical Summary This document describes the changes between Unicode 6.0.0 and Unicode 12.0.0 in the context of IDNA2008. Some additions and changes have been made in the Unicode Standard that affect the values produced by the algorithm IDNA2008 specifies. IDNA2008 allows adding exceptions to the algorithm for backward compatibility; however, this document does not add any such exceptions. This document provides the necessary tables to IANA to make its database consistent with Unicode 12.0.0. To improve understanding, this document describes systems that are being used as alternatives to those that conform to IDNA2008. Working Group Summary This is an AD-sponsored document and was not produced by a working group. It received the usual Last Call treatment, including directorate reviews from OPSDIR, GENART, and I18NDIR. This document replaces draft-faltstrom-unicode11, which was intended to take on the specified review and analysis for Unicode version 11, but which did not get finished before Unicode version 12 was released and before changes to the review process were documented in RFC 8753. There was a good level of review of draft-faltstrom-unicode11, including substantive review through the Internationalization Directorate (there were also GenART and SecDir reviews), and those reviews serve this, draft-faltstrom-unicode12, well. It's important to keep in mind that the analysis that this document does is highly specialized and that few IETF participants have the background knowledge and skills to do that analysis. As a result, we expect few substantive reviews, and the consensus is necessarily achieved very narrowly. That said, the document and the analysis it provides is critical to the stability of the IDNA2008 standards, to ensure that the standard continues to align with current Unicode versions. This document is a prerequisite for the review and analysis of Unicode version 13. Document Quality Unicode is ubiquitous in terms of implementations. The most obvious important review was one from I18NDIR, which was done both early and recently on this document. Personnel Barry Leiba is the document shepherd. Murray Kucherawy is the sponsoring area director.
