Title : Suggested Practices for Registration of
Internationalized Domain Names (IDN)

This document explores the issues in registration of
internationalized domain names (IDNs). The basic IDN definition
potentially allows a very large number of possible characters in
domain names, and this richness may lead to serious user confusion
about similar-looking names. To avoid this confusion, it is
necessary for the IDN registration process to impose rules that
disallow some otherwise-valid name combinations. This document
suggests a set of mechanisms that registries might use to define and
implement such rules, including adaptation of methods developed for
Chinese, Japanese, and Korean domain names to other languages and
scripts.

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.
