Mawaki, The third day of the Amsterdam session is devoted in part to a review of the existing IDN issues report. That report has raised the question: "What particular contractual provisions are required for an <.idn-tld> in addition to those normally required for any <.tld>?" I would establish the contractual provision that all registrar-to-registrant communications be conducted in the registrant's language. Recently we have noted the report of the hijacking of syria-news.com [http://aymanh.com/syria-news-com-hijacked]. In this case, a transfer request (in English) was sent to the domain administrator (whose native language was Arabic). As the administrator did not respond within the requisite number of days, the transfer went through and the domain still remains hijacked. best regards, Danny Younger __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
