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-saslprepbis-15.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 2015-04-28. 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 PRECIS framework, RFC YYYY, obsoletes RFC 3454, and this document obsoletes RFC 4013. [[ NOTE TO RFC EDITOR: please replace "YYYY" in the previous paragraph with the RFC number assigned to draft-ietf-precis- framework. ]] The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-precis-saslprepbis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-precis-saslprepbis/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
