The Target - Universal IDN acceptance

At the Fourth Ukrainian Internet Governance Forum (IGF-UA) held in Kiev in October 2013, the future of Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) was discussed. Today, there are 40 IDN Top-Level Domains (TLDs), with projections of 150 new ones (including new gTLDs). Despite the high demand for Cyrillic domains like .РФ (with over 813,400 registrations), major services still lack support for email addresses in Cyrillic. A fully functional e-mail infrastructure is crucial for the success of IDNs. The session emphasized the need for universal acceptance of IDNs to address these challenges.

  1. The Target - Universal IDN acceptance Fourth Ukrainian Internet Governance Forum IGF-UA Kiev, Ukraine,October 2013

  2. IDN: Today & Tomorrow 2 Today: 40 IDN TLD Tomorrow: about 150 IDN (inc. New gTLD)

  3. IDN vs “Classic” 3 .РФ is one of the largest IDN TLD in the world: 813 400 domain names (for September 1, 2013) The main problem Lack of support of cyrillic domains by the largest main services: it’s impossible to send a letter for an email address such as following имя@домен.рф

  4. New Cyrillic IDNs 4 We need a fully functional e-mail!!! And other IDNs:

  5. Universal IDN acceptance 5 E-mail functions of the IDN-domains are not in demand so it’s too early to speak about cyrillic e-mail support AGAINST: Russian is the second popular language in the world .РФ Domain exists for more than 3 years and it’s compatible with existing ccTLD on growth speed FOR: In the nearest future the following top level domains will appear: .РУС, .МОСКВА (“Moscow”), .ДЕТИ (“children”), .ОНЛАЙН (“online”), .САЙТ (“site”) etc.

  6. Universal IDN acceptance: RFCs 6 • RFC 6530 "Overview and Framework for Internationalized Email", February 2012 • RFC 6531 "SMTP Extension for Internationalized Email" (February 2012) • RFC 6532 "Internationalized Email Headers", February 2012 • RFC 6533 "Internationalized Delivery Status and Disposition Notifications", February 2012 • RFC 6855 "IMAP Support for UTF-8", March 2013 • RFC 6856 "Post Office Protocol Version 3 (POP3) Support for UTF-8", March 2013
