Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) continue to roll out, making it easier for everyone to use the Internet. In its meeting August 5th, ICANN’s Board of Directors approved five more countries/territories to use their national scripts in the last portion of Internet address names.

These six IDN ccTLDs are not yet final. There are still a few more steps to be completed before they are ready to go live. But once completed, people in these areas will be able to type their non-Latin scripts in the top-level domain (TLD) part of an Internet address name. That follows the dot, such as dot-cn or dot-org.
