My name and language on the Internet
My name is Baher Esmat
I work for Internet
names and specific numbers known as ICANN
ICANN is an non-profit organization
It’s primary role is technical coordination
for matters relating to names Of top domain levels
Known as internet Top-Lan and Domains
As well as numbers and Internet addresses
Known as IP
ICANN performs the role of coordinator
through what is known as “internet Society”
The internet society includes
different groups and views
From artists and government views
To private companies and
views of academic communities
and private sectors and others
As well as consumers and what we call
End users
of the internet and the Internet user
So ICANN operates through these different groups
on developing
private policies
for top domain names
and IP and internet distribution
or internet addresses
To talk about top-level domain names
We are talking about two
important things in the internet
It is possible in the last two years
their subject is connected to
international domain names
or what we call “Internationalized
domain names or IDNs”
The other important thing is
opening the door for new domain names
And New GTITs
Both of those two subjects are Connected in reality
And it is possible they both are important
to the internet society in general
And societies that speak different languages
other than the English language in particular
It is possible that we, I mean,
in the Arabic communities
may find the use
of the internet in Arabic language
very benificial
There may be a chance
to use the same domain in Arabic
And the IDNs are trying it right now
On the root servers of the internet
And I encourage
those who are interested in this subject
to enter and try it
and to participate in this experiment
By signing on the IDN WIKI
And the web site name is:
IDN.ICANN.ORG
So it may be useful
To consider and explore the views
Of different people who participate
If this experiment takes place
In eleven different languages
Including Arabic Language
So I think it is useful
For you to take and participate
in this experiment and send us your feedback
The subject of new domain names
is also one of the important subjects
Because, as you may know now, there are
Approximately around 20 domain names
on the internet
Such as, dot com and dot net
And other domain names
So by opening the door for new Domain names
We will help, in reality, opening
the field of competition because of diversity
in top domains
that will open a room for choice
Because he will remain the end-user
who is registered under a domain name
And will have more choices in what he wants to register
under dot com or whatever he wishes.
Top domain names will still have
Freedom of choice as well as
having the opportunity to create new
innovations and new opportunities
That is, new business opportunitites
where people can, through it,
create
and work on new things
