The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'Variant Rules' <draft-freytag-lager-variant-rules-02.txt> as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-02-14. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document gives guidance on designing well-behaved Label Generation Rulesets (LGRs) that support variant labels. Typical examples of labels and LGRs are IDNs and zone registration policies defining permissible IDN labels. Variant labels are labels that are either visually or semantically indistinguishable from an applied for label and are typically delegated together with the applied-for label, or permanently reserved. While [RFC7940] defines the syntactical requirements for specifying the label generation rules for variant labels, additional considerations apply that ensure that the label generation rules are consistent and well-behaved in the presence of variants. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-freytag-lager-variant-rules/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-freytag-lager-variant-rules/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
