Overview

In this session, we describe a proposed approach to identifying issues of delegating IDN variant TLDs through five case studies. The plan proposes the creation of teams composed of community experts in linguistics, DNS, registry operations, and policy. The session will seek to recruit interested persons for this effort.
 
Specifically, ICANN proposes to conduct five case studies (suggested cases are Chinese, Arabic, Latin, Indic, and Cyrillic) to investigate the set of issues that need to be resolved to facilitate a good user experience for IDN variant TLDs. From these five case studies, an Issues Report will be created. The corresponding Board resolution can be found here: http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-10dec10-en.htm#7).
 
In this session, we also invite representatives from IDN using communities to provide an overview of the potential issues with IDN variant TLDs.

Who Should Attend? | Anyone interested in IDN variants.
