⢠International Domain Name (IDN, Multi-lingual Domain Name)
We are of the opinion that for the citizens to access information through ubiquitous way through internet, domain name in Roman script is a big impediment and we therefore feel a strong need for the Multilingual Domain Name registration.
There is a need for bringing globally accepted standards for IDN implementation. Hence there is a need for developing a globally accepted mapping tables for the conversion of languages/scripts to Unicode and finally to ASCII such that there is least disturbance in existing DNS. This globally accepted mapping might have to be implemented by browser venders in their products. The issues involved in this process can be best handled by a multilateral organization under the UN framework with the full participation of the private sectors and civil societies to evolve unified uniform policies to guide the deployment and administration of multilingual Internet names. This is a public policy issues that needs to be adequately addressed.
