  1. Internationalization IssuesWhois WorkshopICANN meetings 29 October, 2003 Carthage, TunisiaCharles Sha’banTalal Abu-Ghazaleh Organization (TAGO)

  2. Arabic concerns • Since no implementation for Arabic data in the whois, this small presentation list the concerns and issues to be taken in consideration

  3. Data • What languages should the whois contain, only Arabic? • Will people who know Arabic only use it? • Should it contain the information in the languages that is used by the different citizens in that country (e.g. first and second languages of a country?)

  4. Policies • Each Arab ccTLD should know the problems & concerns and find the solutions before starting registering Arabic Domain names, this includes formulating the policies.

  5. Coordination • 22 Arab countries • Arabic script is used in more than one language besides the Arabic like Farsi, Urdu, and Pashto…

  6. Technical testing • Interoperability testing is an important solution like the IDNconnect and the MINC interoperability testbed.

  7. Notice to show another importance of the whois • A good whois could be the alternative to Sunrise period, of course along with a good dispute resolution policy
