Description </span></strong><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>The participation of the local Internet user community is
considered necessary in the successful implementation of IDNs. This session
will look at the experiences of several early adopter TLDs who may have
involved the local community in the process of implementation of IDNs, to
different extents, as well as users who have participated in those trials. Best
practices and lessons learnt will be presented, and the discussion will focus
on the practical implementation of these IDNs with the full participation of
end-users.<o:p></o:p></p>
