7、ords Permissible Code Points Non ASCII TLDs Registrar Selection Process UDRP Review,The IDN.IDN Keyword Issue,The IDN Committee strongly recommends against the introduction of Internet keyword services that utilize the period, or dot (“.“) or Unicode characters that can be mistaken for it, as the se
8、parator between the different name segments.,This recommendation is particularly emphatic in the case of non-ASCII Internet keyword offerings.,The IDN Committee recommends that ICANN and its Domain Name Supporting Organization (particularly the registries and registrars) consider how best to educate
9、 Internet users about the differences between DNS domain names and Internet keywords.,The Permissible Code Point Issue,By permissible code point issues, we refer to the problems that might arise from the use of certain non-ASCII characters included in the Unicode Standard within IDN domain name labe
10、ls. At present, the DNS host name specifications limit permissible code points in domain name labels to a restricted subset of 7-bit ASCII.In addition to the characters of every language that could be identified and standardized by the Unicode Consortium, theUnicode Standard contains several sets of
11、 “characters“ that donot, in fact, appear in any conventional human language.,The Permissible Code Point Issue (2),The IDN Committee has communicated a recommendation to the IETF that it should proceed conservatively, using an “inclusion-based“ approach to the definition of “Internationalized Hostna
12、mes“, so as to leave out at least temporarily the sets of potentially problematic characters, most notably:- line and symbol-drawing characters;- symbols and icons that are neither alphabetic nor ideographic language characters, such as typographical dingbats;- punctuation characters; and- spacing c

The focus of the next three slides is a preliminary selection framework for non-ASCII TLDs themselves.,A Preliminary Framework for non ASCII TLD
