Section I: Description, Explanation, and Purpose
ICANN is today publishing a proposed version 3.0 of the Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) Implementation Guidelines<http://www.icann.org/en/topics/idn/idn-guidelines-discussion-draft-clean-25jul11-en.pdf> [PDF, 196 KB] for public comment. The IDN Guidelines are a list of general standards that all top-level domain registries deploying IDNs are required to follow based on the Internationalized Domain Names for Applications (IDNA) protocol standard from the IETF.
This draft was developed by the IDN Guidelines Revision Working Group (comprised of ccTLD and gTLD registry representatives with IDN experience supported by ICANN staff). The new draft modifies the current Version 2.2 to reflect the IDNABIS revision ("IDNA2008 protocol") of the initial IDNA protocol ("IDNA2003"). ICANN previously published a discussion draft prior to the ICANN meeting in Cartagena, Colombia in November 2010 (see
http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-4-15nov10-en.htm).
Section II: Background
The current version of the IDN Guidelines is available at
http://www.icann.org/en/topics/idn/implementation-guidelines.htm (version 2.2 published 26 April 2007). A redline of changes in version 3.0 against the version published November 2010 is also available at http://www.icann.org/en/topics/idn/idn-guidelines-discussion-draft-redline-25jul11-en.pdf [PDF, 348 KB].
Section III: Document and Resource Links
Comments are welcomed from the community on version 3.0 and may be submitted to at idn-guidelines-v3-revision at icann.org<mailto:idn-guidelines-v3-revision at icann.org> by 26 August 2011 23:59 UTC. Comments may be viewed at http://forum.icann.org/lists/idn-guidelines-v3-revision/.
Section IV: Additional Information
The Internationalized Domain Names for Applications (IDNA) protocol is the technical standard for the implementation of IDNs for TLD registries, registrars and software developers that make IDNs available for their customers. The IDNA protocol references and further detail about the 2008 revision can be found here: http://www.icann.org/en/topics/idn/rfcs.htm.<http://www.icann.org/en/topics/idn/rfcs.htm>
