A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts

Title : The Report of the IAB Character Set Workshop held 29
February - 1 March, 1996
Author(s) : C. Weider , C. Preston, K. Simonsen, H. Alvestrand, R. Atkinson, Crispin, P. Svanberg
Filename : draft-weider-iab-char-wrkshop-01.txt
Pages : 27
Date : 03/10/1997
This report details the conclusions of an IAB-sponsored invitational
workshop held 29 February - 1 March, 1996, to discuss the use of character
sets on the Internet. It motivates the need to have character set handling
in Internet protocols which transmit text, provides a conceptual framework
for specifying character sets, recommends the use of MIME tagging for
transmitted text, recommends a default character set *without* stating that
there is no need for other character sets, and makes a series of
recommendations to the IAB, IANA, and the IESG for furthering the
integration of the character set framework into text transmission
protocols.

Internet-Drafts are also available by mail.
Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-weider-iab-char-wrkshop-01.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
