There have been several attempts aimed at developing an Arabic Domain
Name System (ADNS) using Arabic characters in an Arabic-language
coherent fashion. In the beginning of the second quarter of 2003, an
Arabic Domain Name Task Force (ADNTF) was formed under the auspices
of United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia
(ESCWA), and the guidance of Multilingual Internet Names Consortium
(MINC); one of its main objectives was to help define standards for
ADNS through a Request For Comments (RFC) document. This document
resolves many technical and linguistic issues, including the adoption
of the client-side DNS-based approach to name resolution; syntax of
the proposed Arabic Domain Names together with the character set and
many Arabic language-specific issues were clearly resolved. This
Internet-Draft proposes guidelines that are compatible with the
Internet Consortium for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as far as Domain Names System
(DNS) and Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) standards are
concerned. Technical, management, operational, and language-specific
issues are discussed and recommendations are made.

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
