Ballot Text

  Technical Summary:

   This document describes changes between Unicode 6.3.0 and
   Unicode 11.0.0 in the context of IDNA2008, and it requests
   that IANA update the tables to Unicode 11.
   
   This document also suggests a path forward for the IETF to
   ensure IDNA2008 follows the evolution of the Unicode Standard.

  Working Group Summary:

    This document is not the product of any IETF WG,
    however it was reviewed by the I18N Directorate.

  Document Quality:

   The Internet Architecture Board issues a statement that
   requested IETF to resolve the issues related to the code
   point ARABIC LETTER BEH WITH HAMZA ABOVE (U+08A1) that was
   introduced in Unicode 7.0.0.  This document resolves this
   issue and suggests IDNA2008 standard is to follow the
   Unicode Standard and not update RFC 5892 or any other
   IDNA2008-related RFC.

  Personnel:

    Russ Housley is the document shepherd.
    Alexey Melnikov is the responsible area director.
