  6. Registration Policies • compliant to RFCs • definition of available character set • each domain name associated with language(s) • setting up policies for IDNs through collaboration • each domain label does not have characters from different languages (such as Arabic and Chinese), at least initially • communications with users are provided with the languages when characters in the languages are available in domain names above guidelines satisfied in .JP no change necessary for .JP

  8. History till Service Launch(2) • March 13, 2003 • ICANN posted a document "Standards for ICANN Authorization of Internationalized Domain Name Registrations in Registries with Agreements" which went as • guidelines will be set up for IDN registration • registries with ICANN agreement must commit to satisfy the guidelines before starting IDN registration • March 17, 2003 • JPRS decided to postpone its service launch as it believed coordination among registries with regard to such guidelines was very important for the Internet users • March 22-26, 2003 • IDN-RIC's face-to-face meetings during Rio de Janeiro ICANN meetings to polish the guidelines

  9. History till Service Launch(3) • March 25, 2003 • In Public Forum in Rio de Janeiro, the content of the guidelines were generally supported and it was said by an ICANN staff that the approval of IDN service would start in a couple of weeks • March 26, 2003 • Board authorized President to implement the guidelines by authorizing registration of IDNs in registries with agreements with ICANN on the basis of those guidelines • March 27 – • Discussions were continued in IDN-RIC (Registry Implementation Committee) mailing listJune 10, 2003 • Japanese Government raised an issue in GAC about the slowness of the IDN registration authorization process

  10. History till Service Launch(4) • June 12, 2003 • JPRS sent a mail to ICANN president to convey the frustration of the Internet community and urge ICANN to accelerate the process of starting IDN registration • JPRS posted the above mail to places such as ccTLD community mailing list and JPRS web site • June 19, 2003 (PST) • JPRS sent a mail to ICANN to expressing its commitment to satisfy the guidelines • ICANN authorized JPRS to start IDN registration • June 20, 2003 (PST) • ICANN fixed the guidelines and posted it on its web-site • July 10, 2003 • JPRS will launch RFC-compliant Japanese Domain Name registration service
