  1. IDN deployment in Russia Sergey Charikov CEO of Regtime.net CEO of RLNIC MINC Board Member Regtime.net

  2. Introduction Russian is the primary language of the Russian nation. It is also widely used in many other countries. It is a native or second language for 232.5 million people in Russia, 11 countries of CIS – such as Ukraine, Belarussia, Kazakhstan, etc and Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania. Russian is one of official and working languages of UN and UNESCO. Besides being the State language of the Russian Federation since 1991, it is a language of inter-ethnic and international dialogue. As such, Russian is considered a global language. On November 27, 2002 the Council of the Russian Federation approved amendments in the law "About languages of the peoples of Russian Federation “ to deal with the Cyrillic characters used in the different parts of the Federation.

  3. Script of the Russian Language • Based on Cyrillic • Russian Cyrillic has 33 characters in the Russian alphabet. • Slight difference from Cyrillic used by other languages • Cyrillic script was formalized by St Cyrillic in the 9th Century A.D. and subsequently by St Clement in Medieval times Regtime.net

  4. Unicode 3.2 Cyrillic Fonts Regtime.net

  5. IDN Deployment history May 22, 2001 first Cyrillic language domains registration launched Three Cyrillic's TLDs which are analogs of .com .net and .org http://www.i-dns.net/newsroom/news/I-RU010312-01.html.en November 2001 - Russian Language working group of MINC created. Members of RLWG are famous persons of a linguistics science, internet business and government structures. http://www.minc.org/WG/russian/charter1.2.html Regtime.net

  6. Charter of the RLWG The Russian Language Working Group (RLWG) aims to co-ordinate efforts to develop Russian Internet name system and applications, providing users with the capability of: - using Russian language and its standard Cyrillic character sets to write domain or keyword names and navigate the Internet; - receive and send email using a Russian language email address; - utilize other global or local network resources and resource identifiers in Russian language, such as ftp, gopher and server names. Regtime.net

  7. Where to register IDN in Russia There are two main websites in Russia offer to register Cyrillic domains – www.regtime.net and www.webnames.ru Regtime.net

  8. Regtime.net

  9. Regtime.net

  10. In total some thousands of Cyrillic domains have been registered, including the Cyrillic domains president.org and kremlin.org which are registered under the initiative of the Russian President’s Administration. For almost a year, the former domain name, has been resolving to Russian President Putin’s personal homepage Regtime.net

  11. Interoperability Issues • Just like Latin script, many languages use Cyrillic, including Russian • Need coordination • More than 50 European and Asian languages eg. Russian, Bulgarian, Azeri, Belarusian, Croatian Cyrillic (bosancica), Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Macedonian, Mongolian Cyrillic, Montenegrin Cyrillic, Serbian, Tatar, Ukrainian, Uzbek, Others such as Abaza, Abkhasian, Adyghe, Altai, Avar, Azerbaijani (Azeri), Bashkir, Buriat, Chechen, Chuckchi, Chuvash, Crimean Turkish, Dargwa, Dolgan, Dungan, Gagauz, Ingush, Judeo-Tat, Kabardian, Kalmyk-Oirat, Karachay-Balkar, Karaim, Karakalpak, Khakas, Khanty, Kildin Sámi, Kirghiz (Kyrgyz), Kumyk, Kurmanji, Lak, Kezgi, Mari, Moldavian, Nenets, Nogai, Old-Ukranian, Osetin, Slavonic, Tabassaran, Tajikik, Turkmen, Tuvin, Uyghur, Yakut and other minority languages of Russia Regtime.net

  12. Classification • Languages that use Cyrillic exclusively – Russian, Bulgarian • Languages that use Cyrillic in addition to the native script – e.g. Mongolian • Languages that use Cyrillic and other scripts – e.g. Azeri (Latin and Cyrillic) Croatian Glagolitic, Cyrillic and Latin Regtime.net

  13. Answer to the Challenge of MINC Interoperability Testing Now Regtime.net and RLWG with support of the Russian Chamber of Commerce, prominent government politicians and influential scientists have created Russian Language Network Information Center (RLNIC) and Cyrillic Languages Internet Names Consortium (CLINC). These entities, with technology licensed from I-DNS.net, are in the process of launching inter-operability IDN testing within Russia and CIS countries. The RLWG has partnered with the RLNIC, which acts as the registry operator. The role of the RLWG has been to ensure that language and policy issues relating to the Russian script as used in Russia will be adequately adhered to by all parties. Regtime.net
