The IAB is ready to ask the RFC-Editor to publish
Review and Recommendations for Internationalized Domain Names (IDN)
draft-iab-idn-nextsteps-05
as an Informational RFC. The chief purpose of this document
is to provide a survey of issues that have been raised with
regards to the deployment of IDNs and propose potential
avenues for exploring and/or resolving them.
The IAB solicits comments by May 17, 2006. Please send
comments to the IAB (iab@iab.org) and authors (cc'ed here), or to
ietf@ietf.org.
The document can be found at

From the Abstract:
This note describes 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.
Leslie Daigle,
For the IAB.
