> Abstract:
> 
> This note describe issues raised by the deployment and use of 
> Internationalized Domain Names.  It describes problems both 
> at the time of registration and those for use of those names 
> for use in the DNS.  It recommends that IETF should update 
> the IDN related RFCs and a framework to be followed in doing 
> so, as well as summarizing and identifying some work that is 
> required outside the IETF.  In particular, it proposes that 
> some changes be investigated for the IDNA standard and its 
> supporting tables, based on experience gained since those 
> standards were completed.
> 
> Document status:
> 
> This document reviews the IDN landscape from an IETF 
> perspective and presents the recommendations and conclusions 
> of an IAB-convened ad hoc committee charged with reviewing 
> IDN issues and the path forward (See Section 6).  Its 
> recommendations are recommendations to the IETF, or in a few 
> cases to other bodies, for topics to be examined and actions 
> to be taken if those bodies, after their examinations, 
> consider those actions appropriate.
> 
> Neither the IAB nor the members of the ad hoc committee have 
> yet reached consensus that this document is ready for final 
> publication.
> However, the IAB concluded that it was appropriate to expose 
> it, as a working draft, for community comment and feedback.  
> Such comments should be sent to iab@xxxxxxx (relevant 
> material will be forwarded to the IAB IDN Ad Hoc committee).
