% This protocol describes a transformation method for representing non-
% ASCII characters in domain names in a fashion that is completely
% compatible with the current DNS. It meets the many requirements for
% internationalization of domain names.
% 
% Note: this protocol is quite experimental and should not be deployed in
% the Internet until it reaches standards track in the IETF.

% Regarding the Note: - is there any coherent plan regarding testing/deployement
% in regards to moving this from Experimental to Standards Track?

I hope not, This will be the first IETF where this WG meets. This is -one-
