A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.


	Title		: Internationalized domain names divided by characters 
                          key

This description addresses the method for using internationalized 
(multilingual) domain names under the current DNS. Further, the method 
for converting a internationalized domain name expressed in a native 
language, into a traditional US-ASCII domain name compatible in current 
DNS, is addressed.

This method especially uses 'sequence of 36 characters' to convert all
characters in IDN into US-ASCII. 

Finally, the way to use this method with lc2LDs are presented.

Send a message to:

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-dkjang-idn-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.
