On July 25, 2007, IETF, Internet Engineering Task Force, organization which develops standards for data transfer on the Internet (Computers), promulgated the first RFC promoted and prepared by EAI (Email Address Internationalization), i.e. Overview and Framework for Internationalized Email, numbered RFC4952. The official announcement of the international standard means that the framework for internationalized email addresses has obtained the consensus of the world.
RFC4952, a framework protocol for internationalized email addresses, put forward the basic solution for internationalized email addresses. The internationalized email address is another important technology for realization of multiple languages in Internet communications after the introduction of multiple domain name webpage browsing. It provides a practicable technical framework solution for global Internet users from non-English-speaking countries to use their own native languages in their email addresses. That indicates that such email address as "张三@互联网中心.CN" will come to work in the near future. Following RFC 743 and RFC4713, which solved the equivalent application of traditional and simplified Chinese domain names, RFC4952 makes Chinese applicable in the email, which will expedite the coming of the era of "Chinese Internet Surfing" further.
