1. Summary
The document shepherd is Marc Blanchet. The responsible Area Director is Alexey
Melnikov.
This document is part of a set of revised RFCs (7564, 7613, 7700), based on
implementation experience. 7564 is the base Precis protocol, 7613 and 7700 are
profiles for specific use (username/passwords and nicknames respectively).
This revised document, the base Precis protocol, essentially clarifies the
original specification, on topics such as case folding, normalization, code
points, and rules. The only real modification of the specification is the
change from Unicode toCaseFold() operation to toLowerCase().
2. Review and Consensus
Multiple versions of the revised spec was discussed over more than a year in
the working group mailing list. As a clarification of the base specification,
there was no real contention on the document.
3. Intellectual Property
Each author has confirmed conformance with BCP 78/79. There are no IPR
disclosures on the document.
4. Other Points
No change to IANA Precis registries and related policies
