  1. Internet Identity For All IDN in Malaysia By Lai HengChoong Manager, Application and Development Dept. APTLD Meeting, Amman , Jordan30th October 2010

  2. Agenda

  3. IDN in Malaysia

  4. IDN in Malaysia • Malaysia is a multiracial country • Malay (Jawi) • Chinese (Simplify Chinese) • Indian (Tamil) • Others • National language is Bahasa Malaysia (Malay) • Official education system uses Latin script (a – z and 0 - 9) • People in Malaysia basically understand and able to write all Latin script

  5. IDN in Malaysia • So, most of the Malaysian has no issues to use Latin script domain name • www.tuition.my => English • www.tuisyen.my => Bahasa Malaysia(Malay) • IDN is more on social / community/ cultural preservation instead of the commercial need

  6. IDN Survey

  7. IDN Survey Public consultation through online market survey • Objective : To study the readiness of the Malaysian local internet community in accepting IDN in general, particularly in Jawi, Chinese and Tamil domain names • 23 questions has been asked in the Survey • 663 participants ( as per 20th Oct 2010) • Targeted participants • .my Domain registrants • schools • government agencies

  8. IDN Survey Result Summary 74.36 % think now is an appropriate time for the introduction of IDNs to the Malaysian public 70.86 % think IDN in Malaysia should be introduced at second level 8

  9. IDN Survey Result Summary 82.98 % preferred IDN in Malaysia will support 3 scripts which are Jawi, Chinese and Tamil 9

  10. IDN Survey Result Summary 82.07 % preferred the top level extension is .my (Jawi : ماي . Chinese: 大马 Tamil : .மை) instead of .malaysia (Jawi : .مليسيا Chinese : .马来西亚, Tamil: .மலேசியா) 10

  11. Issues & Challenges

  12. Technical Issues ( Jawi) • Rules of the Jawi number 12

  13. Technical Issues ( Jawi) • Jawi Letter Hamzah Three Quarter • Use in daily Jawi • Not in Unicode table • Can’t convert to punycode • Variants issue • harimau (have 2 different characters represent “h” in Jawi) Jawi language table was submitted to IANA IDN Repository on July 2010 http://www.iana.org/domains/idn-tables/ 13

  14. Technical Issues(Chinese) • Traditional (体操) and Simplified (體操) Chinese • 体操≈ 體操 (Gymnastics) • Most Chinese users in Malaysia can read both forms • But prefer one form for writing • Hong Kong, Taiwan use Traditional Chinese • China, Singapore use Simplified Chinese • Malaysia – mixed? • If a user in China sees “體操.my”, she might enter 体操.my” – will she find the right web site? 14

  15. Technical Issues(Chinese) • Since Chinese users treat the variants as equal • When a Chinese IDN is registered, both the traditional version and simplified version should be given to them. • We call this “bundling” • Example: User wants to register 体育场.my (Stadium) • Both 体育场.my and 體育場.my will be registered to the same user at the same time • Simplified Chinese users will use the former, traditional Chinese users will use the latter. Both works.

  16. Technical Issues(Chinese) • What if someone entered “體育场.my ”? • Could be due to “copy and paste” or switched to traditional input by mistake? • Since the domain is not registered in the bundle, user will get an error • 4 possible combinations • 體育场.my • 體育场.my • 体育場.my • 体育場.my • If the IDN has more variants, even more combinations. Example: 马来西亚国家体育场has 64 combinations • Infeasible to have all different combinations in DNS. We need to educate users to avoid mixing variants.

  17. Technical Issues(Chinese) 體育场.my origin 体育場.my 體育场.my 体育场.my 體育場.my simplified reserved traditional Zone file

  18. Technical Issues(Chinese) • Other variant issues • Characters use for certain words are different between Malaysian local Chinese and Oversea Chinese • Example (Durian) : • 榴莲(Malaysia) • 榴连/留连(China / Taiwan / Hong Kong) • Use the language table developed by CDNC (The Chinese Domain Name Consortium)

  19. Technical Issues(Tamil) • Only Tamil script is commonly use in the Indian community in Malaysia • Variant Tamil Characters • 4 variant characters in Tamil, same shapes but use differently. Use in numerals, numerals in Tamil are not use in Malaysia and not allow for Tamil domain name. • Use Tamil Unicode table from India

  20. Top level String • Which Top Level should use to represent Malaysia? 20

  21. Top Level Variants for Chinese Characters • Top Level variants issue for Chinese IDN • If .马来西亚 will use for the extension • 8 variants • 马来西亚 • 马来西亞 • 马來西亚 • 马來西亞 • 馬来西亚 • 馬来西亞 • 馬來西亚 • 馬來西亞 21
