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		: AMC-ACE-Z version 0.3.0

AMC-ACE-Z is a simple and efficient ASCII-Compatible Encoding (ACE)
designed for use with Internationalized Domain Names [IDN] [IDNA].
It uniquely and reversibly transforms a Unicode string [UNICODE]
into an ASCII string.  ASCII characters in the Unicode string are
represented literally, and non-ASCII characters are represented
by ASCII characters that are allowed in hostname labels (letters,
digits, and hyphens).  Bootstring is a general algorithm that allows
a string of basic code points to uniquely represent any string of
code points drawn from a larger set.  AMC-ACE-Z is an instance
Bootstring that uses particular parameter values appropriate for
IDNA and uses an IDNA signature prefix (or suffix).  This document
specifies Bootstring and the parameter values for AMC-ACE-Z.

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-idn-amc-ace-z-00.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.
