All of these IDNAbis I-Ds are on the RFC-Editor queue right now:

 - draft-ietf-idnabis-protocol-18
 - draft-ietf-idnabis-rationale-17
 - draft-ietf-idnabis-defs-13
 - draft-ietf-idnabis-bidi-07
 - draft-ietf-idnabis-mappings-05
 - draft-ietf-idnabis-tables-09

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-idnabis-protocol/
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/.../

The Newprep BoF isn't relevant to the IDNAbis work, but it is
potentially relevant to any protocol that uses stringprep profiles for
anything other than a domainname slot (that includes NFSv4).

IDNAbis doesn't radically change IDNA, at least not in ways that matter
to NFSv4.  There's still A-labels and U-labels (new terminology) and
IDN-aware and IDN-unaware domainname slots, and we still need to decide
whether NFSv4 domainname slots are IDN-aware or not.
