| SSAC Response to the ICANN Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) Guidelines Working Group (R-1) | SAC099 | CLOSED |
Description:
The SSAC recommends that for normal infrastructure records and other records identifying hosts:
- It should be either:
1) a traditional label, ASCII letters, digits, and the hyphen with the further restrictions that a hyphen cannot appear at the beginning or end of the string or adjacent to another hyphen, or
2) a valid A-label complying with RFCs 5890, 5891, 5892, 5893 (also known as IDNA2008) and their successors, and not in any way dependent on mapping.
- These records should be used without delegated variants, other variations, and, insofar as one can control it, any infrastructure records that create a referral, such as CNAME or DNAME records pointing into or out of the Fully Qualified Domain Name, even if the DNS protocol or other procedures allows those mechanisms.
