APDIP e-Note 9 - Internationalized Domain Names By
Danny Butt
Internationalized Domain Names have become a hot topic
in the field of Internet governance. As the number of
non-English speakers on the Internet grows
exponentially, the limitations of the Domain Name
System have become evident to many. This APDIP e-Note
examines how IDNs relate to cultural diversity and the
basic human right to communicate in one's own language
on the Internet. While the bulk of the content on the
Internet has been in English, this is rapidly
changing. In China, for example, over 60 million of
the nation's 100 million-plus users browse the web
only in Chinese, yet top-level domain names remain in
Roman script for all users.

in: Curbing the Menace of Typosquatting (reg req'd)
Every website has a unique and distinctive Internet
Protocol Address. This IP Address comprises of a set
of numerals. The Domain Names System allocates an easy
to remember name to the numerals and these are the
domain names. Thus these alphanumeric identities are
used to reach an IP address. Usually a domain name
consists of two or more parts separated by dots, the
right most part called the top-level domain and the
left, a subdomain.

Korea to Streamline Internet Addresses
Internet addresses or URLs in Korea will be simplified
to eliminate the needless bit in the middle, the
National Internet Development Agency of Korea said
Tuesday. Thus for online trading site Auction?s
domestic address, Koreans will only have to type
auction.kr instead of auction.co.kr.

identifiable

address, www.ourlady¬ofhope.com. But when the man

When are leading hotels no longer simply good, well
known hotels - are trademarks stealing our English
language? (news release)
In March 2005, a trademark infringement claim filed in
Paris by The Leading Hotels of the World Ltd resulted
in a judgment ordering transfer of the domain name
leadinghotels.com from Online Travel Group to The
Leading Hotels of the World Ltd. However, the
Australian registrar of the domain name has refused
transfer of the domain on the basis that it is not
governed by French law and in particular because of
the unusual circumstances under which the judgment was
obtained.

Multiple Domain Names Penalty
If you own a web site AND you have multiple domain
names registered, you might want to read this with
your full attention. There are a great many web sites
out there which, by inappropriate use of multiple
domain names, effectively cripple their search engine
rankings by blatantly breaching search engine
guidelines!Site owners often register more than one
domain, and there are sound reasons for doing this.

The basics of Internet domain name registration
Website domain names are crucial to any enterprise
that wishes to have an online presence. While sites
like MySpace.com allow anyone to post information
online, a domain of one's own is still a professional
standard. As a Web developer and owner of a Web
hosting business, I have learned that many people do
not fully understand some of the issues involved in
domain registration and ownership. The article then
lists some tips and tools for getting a handle on
domain names.

IPv6: el elegido de Internet
El desarrollo de la informatización de la sociedad y
la tecnología empleada para su constante renovación
constituyen una prioridad para los profesionales y las

Protocolo IP versión 6 (IPv6) usado en las redes que
soportan tecnología Internet y utilizado
progresivamente por más de cien países en el mundo.

Entrevista en Cuba a Jesús Martínez por la revista
CUBASI
El IPv6 (Internet Protocol, versión 6 y nuevo sistema
de direcciones que se aplica en la red mundial) es sin
duda la respuesta tecnológica al desarrollo de nuevos
servicios en Internet para los que el protocolo IP
versión 4 ya no es eficiente (nuevas aplicaciones en
tiempo real, convergencia de aplicaciones de voz,
video y datos).
