Abstract This BOF will study the problems of internationalization in Internet protocols, with particular emphasis on the knowledge needed to effectively internationalize Internet protocols. The BOF is NOT specifically concerned with the DNS or attempts at information location services; it is trying to focus on the Internet protocol suite as a whole. The BOF will be focused around a set of internet-drafts: - draft-alvestrand-i18n-howto - draft-hoffman-i18n-terms - "I18N case studies" (not yet published) - "I18N sorting and matching" (not yet published) The public mailing list for the BOF is intloc-discuss@ops.ietf.org.
