New material on IDNA at the IETF: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-faltstrom-unicode11/?include_text=1
Does this mean that there are no longer any issues in keeping the Unicode and IDNA 2008 aligned? Or does it mean that an exercise is required by the IETF every time there's a new release from Unicode? Don Don Hollander Secretary General - UASG Skype: Don_Hollander

It means that Patrik has written an Internet-Draft. :-) The document needs to gain consensus and be approved before we can say that the IETF has made a decision. Furthermore, approval of this document would mean that one alignment issue has been solved, but as far as I can see others would remain.
Or does it mean that an exercise is required by the IETF every time there’s a new release from Unicode?
Not that, by my reading. Peter

The draft is written as a response to the IAB removing their objection to Unicode 7.0.0; this was conditional to an RFC being created that describes the way forward. As the designated expert, Patrik is working on fulfilling that condition.
Furthermore, approval of this document would mean that one alignment issue has been solved, but as far as I can see others would remain.
Peter, Could you specify which other issues you see here? There are a a few issues that IETF and Unicode do not quite see eye-to-eye on, but this document attempts to cover all of them that are relevant to using the IDNA algorithm for Unicode 7.0.0 to 11.0.0

Agreed, A./

It seems to me UTS#46 is not helping the Internet move from IDNA2003 to IDNA2008. But that is not something Patrik's Internet-Draft can solve. Peter

That's a separate issue, indeed and beyond tractable from my perspective. A./
