[governance] IDN Variants

Mon Oct 24 06:39:29 EDT 2011

Dear All,

Greetings from Dakar! As I write this, we are gearing up for the Opening
Ceremony in Dakar. This year's ICANN 42 promises to be exciting. It is good
to meet some people on this list here and also to make new friends and learn
about developments in their countries.

I am in a room listening to certain speakers speak about IDN variants which
are so very exciting and interesting. You can access and view their study
reports via
http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-4-03oct11-en.htm

It is so interesting to see how certain scripts are politically charged, the
similarity in phonetics or confusingly similar script. Whilst IDNs have been
around for some time, I am sensing that it will only accelerate in its
prominence in the not too distant future.

Best Regards,
