Dear Colleagues, The IAB intends to publish "IAB Thoughts on Encodings for Internationalized Domain Names" http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-iab-idn-encoding-02 This document explores issues with Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) that result from the use of various encoding schemes such as UTF-8 and the ASCII-Compatible Encoding produced by the Punycode algorithm. It focuses on the importance of agreeing on a canonical format and how complicated it ends up being as a result of using different encodings today. The IAB will submit this shortly and welcomes any comments you might have prior to Jun 22, 2010. For the IAB, --Olaf Kolkman (chair). ----------------------------------- The Internet Architecture Board www.iab.org iab-chair@iab.org _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
