[registrars] Representative for the Presidents Advisory Committee for IDN

[Bhavin Turakhia]

Hi all,

We need someone to volunteer for the Presidents Advisory Committee on IDN.
This is a committee being formed pursuant to an ICANN Board Resolution.

The scope and responsibility of the Committee is to provide the Board and
ICANN community with advice on issues that relate to IDN policies, in
particular issues that impact the implementation of IDN especially at the
top level.

More specifically the committee will -

* Ensure discussions on IDN within ICANN contributes to the development of
the name space.

* Ensure discussions promote the use of languages on the Internet in a
manner that ensures the Internet's continued stability and interoperability.

* Strengthen inclusion, coordination and collaboration of all organizations
involved in IDN discussions and the developing implementation of
multilingual domain name solutions.

* Ensure discussions between the different organizations and stakeholders
(technical, political, government, private sector) on challenges in the
successful implementation of IDNs in ICANN's area of responsibility,
including the DNS.

* Contribute towards the ongoing discussions, and identification of
challenges, in the successful implementation of IDNs.

Paul Twomey has specifically asked for someone from the Registrars to take
part in this committee. The representative will not be a formal
representative from the Registrars constituency, but would essentially bring
in the view points of Registrars to the group.

I would like to have someone who is well aware of IDN related issues and
aspects volunteer for this.

If any of you wish to volunteer or know of someone we should nominate for
this please mail me

Thanks
Bhavin
