ICANN: Each State Have A Domain Name

Soon, the Internet domain regulatory agency will decide the policy of internationalization program domain name, or a so-called Fast Track. A policy that has been delayed for nearly a decade.

Program to internasionalkan domain name has been introduced almost a decade of oversight organizations is the domain name (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers / ICANN).
Quoted by Yahoo Tech, Wednesday (28/10/2009), if you come to an agreement, all countries in the world will have the domain name of each, which served as their country's identity in cyberspace. This allows the Internet can be accessed by millions of people in Asia (China and Korea) and the Middle East (Arabic), that in fact have the character of language and different spellings.

"In Seoul, we plan to realize this plan together so that everyone in the world can easily access the Internet, by language and different character they have," said Rod Beckstrom CEO of ICANN.

ICANN itself has been doing research since 2000. In these studies concluded that each country should have their own domain names (International Domain Name / IND). This IND will be juxtaposed with other domains that have been standardized since 2003 such as. Com,. Gov, or. Net.

This program also allows a country that has the character of non-Latin letters to using his own character in the writing domain name. According to the ISO 3166-1 standard, there are currently 246 countries listed as the owner of a different Internet code.

If all members of the ICANN agreed then the program will be implemented fastest November 16 this year.
