On registering at the ICANN LA meeting all delegates are presented with a bag and tshirt.
This time round the tshirt is black and reflects what seems to be a possible theme for this meeting – multilingualism.
One of the issues that ICANN has been making efforts to address over the past few months is multilingualism. This meeting is meant to be having a number of sessions with support for Spanish and other languages.
Of course with IDN’s test currently ongoing it’s only natural that ICANN would try, at least, to make an effort to support other languages.
Of course there are plenty of technical and policy issues to be overcome before widespread adoption of IDN, but in order for the internet to be realistically representative of its entire userbase, then some level of support for IDN is must.
