In regards this statement “Registries and Registrars are encouraged to only use  US-ASCII encoding and character repertoire for WHOIS port 43 output.”. The paragraph from ICANN advisory notes on Sep 12 states:

 

As described in RFC 3912, the WHOIS protocol (port-43) has not been internationalized. While a substitute protocol is being developed in the IETF, Registries and Registrars are encouraged to only use US-ASCII encoding and character repertoire for WHOIS (port-43) output. If the RegistryOperator/Registrar uses characters outside of the US-ASCII repertoire, the output MUST be encoded in UTF-8 to maximize the chances of interoperability.

Although iCANN encourages use of US-ASCII it does not exclude the use of other characters sets as long as they are encoded in UTF-8.

Thanks, Emily.

 

I'll have a meeting within 20 min from now to further discuss this topic (at INTA).
