1. The Unicode code points and IDNA draft-ietf-idnabis-tables, Network Working Group of the IETF, August 10, 2009

Link: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-idnabis-tables-06.txt^{Image Removed}

Abstract: This document specifies rules for deciding whether a code point, considered in isolation, is a candidate for inclusion in an Internationalized Domain Name.

2. Internationalized Domain Names for Applications (IDNA): Background, Explanation, and Rationale, Network Working Group of the IETF, August 13, 2009

Link: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-idnabis-rationale-11.txt^{Image Removed}

Abstract: Several years have passed since the original protocol for Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) was completed and deployed. During that time, a number of issues have arisen, including the need to update the system to deal with newer versions of Unicode. Some of these issues require tuning of the existing protocols and the tables on which they depend. This document provides an overview of a revised system and provides explanatory material for its components.

3. Internationalized Domain Names in Applications (IDNA): Protocol, Network Working Group of the IETF, August 9, 2009

Link: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-idnabis-protocol-14.txt^{Image Removed}

Abstract: This document is the revised protocol definition for internationalized domain names (IDNs). The rationale for changes, the relationship to the older specification, and important terminology are provided in other documents. This document specifies the protocol mechanism, called Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA), for registering and looking up IDNs in a way that does not require changes to the DNS itself. IDNA is only meant for processing domain names, not free text.

4. An updated IDNA criterion for right-to-left scripts, Network Working Group of the IETF, August 7, 2009

Link: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-idnabis-bidi-04.txt^{Image Removed}

Abstract: The use of right-to-left scripts in internationalized domain names has presented several challenges. This memo discusses some problems with these scripts, and some shortcomings in the 2003 IDNA BIDI criterion. Based on this discussion, it proposes a new BIDI rule for IDNA labels.

5. Internationalized Domain Names for Applications (IDNA): Definitions and Document Framework, Network Working Group of the IETF, August 9, 2009

Link: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-idnabis-defs-10.txt^{Image Removed}

Abstract: This document is one of a collection that, together, describe the protocol and usage context for a revision of Internationalized Domain Names for Applications (IDNA), superseding the earlier version. It describes the document collection and provides definitions and other material that are common to the set.

6. Mapping of Characters in IDNA, Network Working Group of the IETF, August 20, 2009

Link: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-idnabis-mappings-03.txt^{Image Removed}

Abstract: In the original version of the Internationalized Domain Names in Applications (IDNA) protocol, any Unicode code points taken from user input were mapped into a set of Unicode code points that "make sense", which were then encoded and passed to the domain name system (DNS). The current version of IDNA presumes that the input to the protocol comes from a set of "permitted" code points, which it then encodes and passes to the DNS, but does not specify what to do with the result of user input. This document describes the actions taken by an implementation between user input and passing permitted code points to the new IDNA protocol.

7. Right-to-Left scripts for IANA Network Working Group of the IETF, August 30, 2009

Link: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-idnabis-bidi-05.txt^{Image Removed}

Abstract: The use of right-to-left scripts in internationalized domain names has presented several challenges. This memo discusses some problems with these scripts, and some shortcomings in the 2003 IDNA BIDI criterion. Based on this discussion, it proposes a new BIDI rule for IDNA labels.
