Abstract
This document describes rules of Internationalized Domain Name (IDN)
registration under .PL - county code top level domain name (ccTLD).
All the rules are based on the idea that the Registry registers the
ACE (ASCII Compatible Encoding) label version of the IDN instead of
IDN's Unicode form. This document also includes the list of accepted
Unicode code points for IDN registration uder ".PL" ccTLD.
1. Introduction
NASK is the .PL ccTLD registry with the liberal policy of the
internationalized domain name registration. The policy of IDN
registration preasented in the following sections of this doument is
simple to deploy and do not require any changes to the current
Registry routines.

2. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "SHALL", "REQUIRED", "SHOULD", "RECOMMENDED",
and "MAY" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
BCP 14, RFC 2119 [10].
Characters in the document are given as their Unicode code points on
U+XXXX format (X is a hexadecimal digit).
"Registry" in this document is equivalent to PL ccTLD Registry "NASK".
"ACE label" and "ACE prefix" is defined in Section 2 of [4].
"NAMEPREP" is defined in [1], "PUNYCODE", "ToUnicode" and "ToASCII"
is defined on [3].
3. Main concepts
The Policy of the IDN-registration under .PL is liberal and is based
on the following concepts:
- NASK accepts only the proper ACE labels (according to [3], [8]
and [9]) which begin with the "xn--" prefix and contain only ASCII
characters,
- the received string after the ToUnicode operation (according to
Section 4.2 of [4] and Section 6.2 of [3]) applied to the ACE
label MUST only include code points [5] from one of the following
sets:
a) Latin set:

4. The IDN influence on Registry
Registry's IDN registration policy described in Section 1 has no
influence on Registry activities especially on invocing, whois and
registration process. The Registry does not provide sunrise period
for IDN registrations.
4.1 The subject of the contract
The subject of the contract between Registry and Registrant is the
ACE version of the IDN domain name.
Registry stores ACE version in the zone files, whois and other
internal databases. Registy MUST NOT store the IDN version of
the domain name.
4.2 Variant tables
Registry does not implement variant tables and bundles (concept of
variant tables and bundles is described in [6])
4.3 Influence on EPP implementation.
There is no influence on EPP implementation [7].
4. The release dates
a. September 11th, 2003 - the release of Polish characters
registration under .PL.
b. October 6th, 2003 - the release of German characters.
c. October 20th, 2003 - the release of remaining characters
from Latin-1 Supplement and Latin Extended-A scripts.
Bartosiewicz Informational [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Registering IDNs under .PL November 2004
d. November 3rd, 2003 - the release of Greek and Hebrew
scripts.
e. February 26th, 2004 - the release of Cyrillic script.
5. Security considerations
This document do not raise new security issues itself. Security
issues addressed in [1],[3], and [4] apply to the document.
