Larry - I will see you in Sevilla while you are off-net, and will
discuss this with you directly. But I also want to propose it here
officially:

Please make URL i18n one of the topics of the URL BOF!
Working on a draft/RFC for URL i18n in parallel and in
coordination with the above work would be ideal. And if
there is an URL group (re)constituted, i18n work clearly
belongs there.
Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend San Jose.

Regards,	Martin.
