The IESG has received a request from the Preparation and Comparison of Internationalized Strings WG (precis) to consider the following document: - 'Preparation, Enforcement, and Comparison of Internationalized Strings Representing Usernames and Passwords' <draft-ietf-precis-7613bis-07.txt> as Proposed Standard 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 2017-06-27. 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 describes updated methods for handling Unicode strings representing usernames and passwords. The previous approach was known as SASLprep (RFC 4013) and was based on stringprep (RFC 3454). The methods specified in this document provide a more sustainable approach to the handling of internationalized usernames and passwords. The preparation, enforcement, and comparison of internationalized strings (PRECIS) framework, RFC 7564, obsoletes RFC 3454, and this document obsoletes RFC 7613. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-precis-7613bis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-precis-7613bis/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
