<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">I agree with Dusan’s and others’ points concerning the term “localized” – the terms are really language- or cultural-specific rather than translated or converted across countries
/ regions. For example, .tv might be universal but .biz not make sense in some places. And there’s no expectation of 1:1 alignment in each market so they are either localized nor globalized in the traditional sense of those terms (at least within my org).
The best academic / industry terms I know would be culturally relevant or language-specific.

<p class="MsoPlainText">Dear all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">It seems to me that this is the point where PR meets experts and vice versa.
<span style="font-family:Wingdings">J</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">PR manager's way of thinking> Target audience, "grandmothers" - do they use any unique term for this? No? Ok, do we have any known attempt of explanation?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">On any IGF, on IDN sessions, we were using a lot of terms and sentences to explain what it is, because we usually had "grandmothers" in the audience. And always with examples.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">So, to break this problem into pieces further (me, acting like a "grandmother"):<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- From my point of view, there are domestic and foreign domain names. So, all domain names are international, and only domain names on my script are domestic. For me, when You say localized, the meaning can be wrong...<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- Domain names - they're just names? So, they're words then.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- If those short names like .com, .org, .net, .biz and similar, doesn't mean anything on English, I wonder why they didn't use .aaa, .bbb, .ccc or any other easy three letters combo? So, eventually they mean something on English, therefor
they are part of English language. They are not part of my domestic language for sure, because they look like .aaa to me, just more complex.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- For me as a "grandmother", I don't know what is ASCII. ASCII is based on English alphabet, so for me simple acceptable explanation will be “ASCII is English alphabet”. With any other explanation, I can be confused.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- To make me understand, examples are needed. Because, usually I don’t know what is TLD, DNS, registry, registrar and many other words.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">So, Don, from my point of view – my vote is C, for this target audience.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">My two cents.<o:p></o:p></p>

Thanks Dave.<br>
<br>
What if your grandmother is living with you in Bangkok. Is a domain name<br>
in Thai really then an international domain name?<br>
