On 26 June 2009 the Board of Directors of the Internet Corporate for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) approved a resolution (2009.06.26.18: [http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-26jun09.htm#6]) requesting that the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) and the Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC), in consultation with staff, convene an Internationalized Registration Data Working Group (IRD-WG) comprised of individuals with knowledge, expertise, and experience in these areas to study the feasibility and suitability of introducing display specifications to deal with the internationalization of registration data. Subsequently, the SSAC and the GNSO formed the IRD-WG. The IRD-WG produced an Interim Report requesting community input on several questions relating to possible models for internationalizing Domain Name Registration Data. See [http://gnso.icann.org/issues/ird/ird-wg-final-report-15nov10-en.pdf] \[PDF, 686 KB\]. Now the IRD-WG has provided a draft Final Report in response to the Board's request. ICANN staff is seeking comments on this [draft Final Report |http://gnso.icann.org/issues/ird/ird-draft-final-report-03oct11-en.pdf] \[PDF, 437 KB\].

ALAC STATEMENT ON FINAL REPORT OF INTERNATIONALIZED REGISTRATION DATA WORKING GROUP

...

In our view, the recommendations , to wit: below are eminently sensible and deserve our full support:

“Recommendation 1: ICANN staff should develop, in consultation with the community, a data model for domain registration data. The data model should specify the elements of the registration data, the data flow, and a formal data schema that incorporates the standards that the working group has agreed on for internationalizing various registration data elements. This data model should also include tagging information for language/scripts.

...

Recommendation 3: ICANN staff should work with the community to identify a DNRD Access Protocol that meets the needs of internationalization, including but not limited to the work products resulting from recommendations 1 and 2, and the requirements enumerated in this report.”
are eminently sensible and deserves our full support.
