Please do Leo :)
Here's my draft for people to kick around and improve.
Thanks for this one. Two comments from my side, as a for-internationalisation grumbler.
The RIPE NCC service region includes countries whose language is not written using Latin script. Languages using other scripts include (in English alphabetical order) Arabic, Georgian, Greek, Hebrew, and Russian. Many of the languages used in the RIPE NCC service region are
The list is lacking a lot of languages that are written in Cyrillic and its variations (like Bulgarian or Serbian Cyrillic). This should be noted.
Adding support for e-mail addresses that use IDNs in the RIPE Database leads to the question of where else the RIPE NCC would need to add internationalization support in order to provide a properly integrated set of services. For instance, if support is added for registering e-mail addresses, there is likely to be a demand for the names used in "person:" and "role:" objects to be displayed as recorded on official identity documents.
The demand is there for at least 10 years now. I realised that I have moaned about that for the first time at RIPE 61 in 2010. ;-) But please, use baby steps with that. Cheers, Piotr -- Piotr Strzyżewski
