A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Internationalized Domain Name Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Internationalized domain names using EDNS (IDNE)
	Author(s)	: M. Blanchet, P. Hoffman
	Filename	: draft-ietf-idn-idne-01.txt
	Pages		: 
	Date		: 11-Jul-00
	
The current DNS infrastructure does not provide a way to use
internationalized domain names (IDN). This document describes an
extension mechanism based on EDNS which enables the use of IDN without
causing harm to the current DNS. IDNE enables IDN host names with a as
many characters as current ASCII-only host names. It fully supports
UTF-8 and conforms to the IDN requirements.

Send a message to:

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-idn-idne-01.txt".
	
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.
