Hi, At RIPE 80, Denis asked for feedback on some items that are not yet NWIs, including internationalized domain names. My feedback is that the RIPE Database should support internationalized e-mail addresses. The RIPE region includes a number of countries that use a non-Latin script. Most of these countries have an IDN version of their ccTLD and there are also a number of IDN gTLDs serving these language communities. People who register in those domains will want to use them for e-mail. If an organization using an IDN is required to set up a secondary e-mail address to register information in the RIPE Database there is a greater risk that the published contact information will go stale as it is not the organization's primary domain. That would undermine the utility of the RIPE Database. Kind regards, Leo Vegoda
