Internationalizing Email Adress BOF (iea)

Monday, March 1 at 1530-1730
============================

CHAIR: Pete Resnick presnick@qualcomm.com

DESCRIPTION:

The IEA BOF will discuss internationalization of email addresses. Although 
domain names in email addresses (everything to the right of the "@") are 
already internationalized by RFC 3490, the mailbox name (everything to the 
left of the "@") is not. The BOF will consider various proposals that would 
allow users to have internationalized mailbox names and how they would work 
with existing Internet mail.

AGENDA:

Overview of what has happened at the last BOF and the mailing list (10 minutes)

Current proposals (15 minutes each):
   ACE on the LHS always
   UTF-8 on the LHS, protected by ESMTP
   UTF-8 in all headers, protected by ESMTP
   Address mapping in the MUA

Where to go next (30 minutes)
