IDNA in Paris (was: looking up domain names with unassigned code points)

[Tina Dam]

At the ICANN meeting in Paris, end June, we already have an item on the agenda scheduled to provide information about the new protocol proposal, the differences from the current protocol and related topics. We are working on arranging for speakers and on specifying the agenda and details will be posted just like all presentations will be made publicly available.

You can see other IDN related sessions at the agenda for the entire meeting at: http://par.icann.org/en/schedule
