Discussion on CgTLDs Che-Hoo Cheng HKNIC
CgTLDs • gTLDs in Chinese Language and Chinese Characters
TWNIC’s mDNS Suggestions • For each ccTLD NIC: • One ccTLD in local language(s) & encoding(s) • One gTLD in local language(s) & encoding(s) • The corresponding ccTLD(s) and gTLD(s) in UTF-8 encoding also
CgTLDs • Concentrate on .com-equivalent only initially • Need coordination because of possible conflicts in UTF-8 • Should go for international standardization
Issues for Chinese Language • Traditional Chinese <-> Simplified Chinese • Many encodings: Big5, GB & others
Issues for Chinese Characters • Need coordination for UTF-8: Choose which one? • 2 Chinese characters only? 2-4 Chinese characters?
