ICANN to explore Domain Names in local languages

New Delhi, Feb 12 (UNI) Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) will tomorrow discuss the India's demand for Domain Names in Indian languages.

It is presently working on a programme which includes developing several characters from the languages all over the world available at the top level.

This would mean that users can benefit from the Domain Names in fully localised languages or scripts which at present is not available since only the English ASCII code is recognized.

ICANN is already testing 11 new languages for domain names.

The ICANN's 31st International Public Meeting opened here yesterday.
