[registrars] [idn] IDN WG Last Call: draft-ietf-idn-idna-06.txt (fwd)

[Rick H Wesson <wessorh@ar.com>]

Registrars:

FYI, the working group last call on IDN ( a two week comment period)
is underway.

If all goes well we could see RFCs on IDN by the end of the IETF meeting
in March. This means that we could see IDN in the gTLD zones before the Q2
2002.

Title: Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA)

Abstract:
Until now, there has been no standard method for domain names to use
characters outside the ASCII repertoire. This document defines
internationalized domain names (IDNs) and a mechanism called IDNA for
handling them in a standard fashion. IDNs use characters drawn from a
large repertoire (Unicode), but IDNA allows the non-ASCII characters to
be represented using the same octets used in so-called hostnames today.
