ICANN CAIRO Egypt November 2008
Introduction to New gTLDs & IDNs (Sunday 2 November 2008)
Hi. My name is Tina Dam. I am the IDN Program Director at ICANN.
Hi. I'm Karla Valente and I am the Director of the New gTLDs Program.
So we are in Cairo and its Sunday and there is a lot of IDN stuff going on. We have actually had IDN gTLDs in the room for a year
and look at all of the activities that are going on.
We just recently posted New gTLDs Applicant guidebook, so if you go to the ICANN website,
you will be able to find the guidebook, download, and learn everything about new gTLDs if you want to be an applicant.
And you can have IDNs as gTLDs as Karla talked about or you can have IDNs as ccTLDs, and there is a ccTLD program available as well.
And that's online also.
And right now the guidebook is open for public comments, and this is a very important step in the ICANN process.
We are going to be looking at the feedback and continue developing until we reach the final version.
The final version should be published sometime in Q2 next year and we expect all the applications for gTLDs to be ready Q3 next year.
So we encourage you to participate. We want to hear from you.
You can take a look at all of the sessions today and tomorrow. There's going to be multiple sessions on IDNs and ccTLDs.
Different sessions that we have today and tomorrow are going to be in English and in Arabic.
The session today is an introductory session for someone who has never heard of new gTLDs.
Tomorrow we are going to cover the applicant guidebook, talk about the structure, what to do with it, how to read it and so on.
A lot of this is about policies, but there's a lot of technical stuff to.
One thing that Karla and I worked together on is making sure that IDN gTLDs and IDN ccTLDs technically are working
and are validated in the same way. So if you want to apply for an IDN string, it has work in the same way.
First of all, thank you for all the work you have done to help us make these implementations and all this work available.
And we'll see you next time. Karla is going to say this in Arabic...[laughs]
We are looking forward to hearing from you, either through the public comments or maybe the next ICANN meeting.
