Some members of the community may recall that in 2015 the IAB posted 
aStatement on Identifiers and Unicode 7.0.0 
<https://www.iab.org/documents/correspondence-reports-documents/2015-2/iab-statement-on-identifiers-and-unicode-7-0-0/>. 
We have just posted anew statement 
<https://www.iab.org/documents/correspondence-reports-documents/2018-2/iab-statement-on-identifiers-and-unicode/>as 
a follow-up. We encourage the community to review the update, as it 
surveys the related work done since the original was posted.

It also notes that the IAB has asked the designated expert for the 
relevant IANA registry to examine the Unicode versions which have been 
published in the intervening time.  Our reasoning for this is set forth 
in the statement, and we look forward to discussing it with the 
community at IETF 101.
