Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs)
国际化域名（IDNs）

The introduction of IDNs – domain names in non-Latin scripts – will
be one of the biggest changes to the Internet since its inception.
引入IDNs域名-非拉丁脚本域名，将是互联网自诞生以来其中最重大的改变之一。(译者注：IDNs即中文.中国这样的纯中文域名)

Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) and ccNSO (Country Code Names
Supporting Organisation) representatives met to discuss the potential
introduction of IDNs that are meaningful representations of countries
or territories (i.e., ccTLDs – country code top-level domains). The GAC
said that only governments or relevant public authorities can provide
authoritative advice to ICANN on the legitimacy of any application for
an IDN ccTLD.
政府咨询委员会（GAC）和ccnso （国家代码名称支持组织）的代表进行了重要意义的会晤，讨论可能如何引进代表国家或地区的 IDNs 域名（即ccTLDs-国家代码顶级域名）。GAC说，只有各国政府或有关当局才能够向ICANN提出任何合法性IDNs的申请。

A fast-track process for introducing IDN ccTLDs in the near-term was
discussed. The main issue was whether initial deployment would be
limited in some way per country or territory. For example, India has 22
official languages. Since all these languages have official status in
India, some think limitations in the number of TLD strings should be
tailored to the needs of each country or territory.

使用“快速跟踪机制”来引入IDN ccTLDs
进行了讨论。目前的主要问题是，在每个国家和地区是否初步部署，某种程度上将是有限的。例如，印度有22个官方语言。由于所有这些语言有官方地位，在印
度，一些人认为，应根据每个国家和地区的需要，部署限制数量的IDN ccTLDs。

Next steps: Clearly describe criteria for determining readiness to
launch IDN TLDs – part of the suggested fast-track process. A public
comment period on a draft initial report on fast-track implementation
of IDN ccTLDs will close on 26 February. This work is being led by the
ICANN “IDNC” Working Group (comprised of ICANN supporting organization
and advisory committee members) that will submit its final report to
the ICANN Board in June, 2008.
