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		: Using the Universal Character Set in the Domain Name 
                          System (UDNS)
	Author(s)	: D. Oscarsson
	Filename	: draft-ietf-idn-udns-01.txt
	Pages		: 10
	Date		: 28-Aug-00
	
Since the Domain Name System (DNS) [RFC1035] was created there have
been a desire to use other characters than ASCII in domain names.
Lately this desire have grown very strong and several groups have
started to experiment with non-ASCII names.
This document defines how the Universal Character Set (UCS)
[ISO10646] can be used in DNS without extending the current [RFC1035]
protocol and how DNS is extended to overcome length limits in the
future.

Send a message to:
	mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-idn-udns-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.
