	Title		: Internationalized Domain Names Registration and

                          Korean

Achieving internationalized access to domain names raises
many complex issues.  These include are not only associated
with basic protocol design (i.e., how the names are
represented on the network, compared, and converted to
appropriate forms) but also issues and options for
deployment, transition, registration and administration.

The IETF IDN working group focused on the development of a
standards track specification for access to domain names in
a broader range of scripts than the original ASCII.  It
became clear during its efforts that there was great
potential for confusion, and difficulties in deployment and
transition, due to characters with similar appearances or
interpretations and that those issues could best be
addressed administratively, rather than through restrictions
embedded in the protocols.

This document provides guidelines for zone administrators
(including but not limited to registry operators and
registrars), and information for all domain names holders,
on the administration of those domain names which contain
characters drawn from Chinese, Japanese and Korean scripts
(CJK).  Other language groups are encouraged to develop
their own guidelines as needed, based on these guideline if
that is helpful.

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
