Short Description 

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.
