IDNs and an upcomming possible chaos?

[Fouad Bajwa]

Hi,

I have recently been following IDN discussions at:
http://www.idnforums.com/forums and
http://www.webmasterworld.com/domain_names/3774259.htm as well reading
this article which is also in discussion at other lists and would be
of great interest to us in NCUC/NCSG: De-Latinisation of the Web:
http://blog.collins.net.pr/2009/12/de-latinisation-of-web.html

Is it possible that there will be a more chaotic situation around the
IDN and its market ecosystem with the lack of understanding of IDNs
and knowledge on the simple user's part?

There is another step that comes as a corporate social responsibility
since ICANN calls titles itself as a corporation that ICANN or its
partners and affiliates may have to invest a great deal in capacity
building across the world or pass this duty on to its registrars and
their registries.

This maybe part of an emerging issue for NCUC to look into and
dedicate some time and discussion for recommendations/advice to ICANN.
