A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : A Method for Registering Internationalized Domain Names Author(s) : P. Hoffman Filename : draft-hoffman-idn-reg-01.txt Pages : 0 Date : 2003-6-27
This document describes some suggested practices for registering internationalized domain names (IDNs) in a zone. Before accepting registrations of domain names into a zone, the zone's registry should decide which codepoints in the Unicode character set the zone will accept. The registry should also decide whether particular characters in a registered domain name should cause registration of multiple equivalent domain names; these domain names might be added to the zone or blocked from registration. This document also describes how to handle character variants in registering IDNs, and how to publish tables that list the character variants.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
