This session will focus on the Final Report from the Expert Working Group on Internationalized Registration Data (WHOIS) recommendations on submission and display requirements for internationalized registration data (IRD). The report represents a significant milestone towards ICANN's goal of internationalizing the WHOIS service with respect to data of global registrants. The session will also discuss the GNSO Final Report on the Translation and Transliteration of Contact Information PDP for contact data and how the work associates with IRD and what the next steps are to enable internationalized registration data.
