Colleagues

After the recent discussion it seems their is support for the idea of UTF-8, whilst there is also support for Puny code as an interim step.

To implement UTF-8 in the RIPE Database requires much more detailed discussions, including non technical aspects of the change. This is not likely to happen quickly.

There has been support shown to introduce Puny code as a first step towards internationalisation of the data, which can be done quickly by the RIPE NCC.

Do we therefore have support to introduce Puny code now and then consider how to move forward with UTF-8?
