As previously announced, IDN workshop will be held during the ICANN Vancouver meeting. Accordingly, ICANN is posting the candidate papers received in response to its earlier call for papers. The papers will be vetted for presentation by a technical panel being appointed by ICANN.
ICANN has opened a discussion forum to enable interested parties to discuss implementation issues with introducing internationalized top level domains. This will be the main topic at the IDN Workshop during the ICANN Vancouver meeting, and documents concerning this topic are being posted here for review and discussion by all interested parties.
The Guidelines for Implementation of Internationalized Domain Names, version 2.0, is now posted as final following ICANN Board endorsement. The resolution from the ICANN Board contained additional directions and timelines for potentially reframing or revising the IDN Guidelines.
The final proposed draft version 2.0 of the Guidelines for implementation of Internationalized Domain Names is now posted. The draft is currently pending endorsement from the ICANN Board. Additionally, an overview of the actions taken by the working group in response to the comments received on the initially proposed draft has been posted.
