[[-- Translated text (es -> en) --]] Dear all, the WG IDN Multilingualism has published in January 2020, a document about IDN registrations in LAC. We need to update it and for that it is another survey is necessary, taking into account the following: 1. We had previously been referred to LACTLD, but it is a organization that only brings together ccTLD administrators. But we we should focus on registering generic IDN domains, perhaps also in top-level domains like gTLDs, but not in ccTLDs. I consulted in LACNIC, and they do not issue any standards to their NICs on domain names, as is logical. 2. That there are NICs that in some countries are not only responsible for IP addresses, but also domain name registrations. Example Argentina. The application for registration of a domain name (all), is carried out before NIC Argentina. It is necessary to be registered with the ARCA, tax collection agency in Argentina, and it is necessary to have a tax code. This way, it is clearly identified who wants to register a domain, whether common or IDN. It also has a regulation with the possible modifications allowed for IDN records. https://nic.ar/es/nic-argentina/normativavigente 3. In other countries, the dependence of the NIC agency varies. There are even universities that fulfill this function. But they don't register domains. 4. In several countries there are private organizations that sell and register domains, but many do not accept registering IDN domains. 5. There are registrars that do not register IDN domains, but once that this registration was accepted in another, they accept that this IDN domain is theirs delegate. ICANN has taken steps to ensure security and avoid confusion with the domain name registrations, including IDNs: https://www.icann.org/es/blogs/details/icanns-new-idn-guidelines-help-streng then-dns-abuse-mitigation-01-05-2024-en I attach the document generated by the WG IDN in January 2020. There you will find which countries allow the registration of IDN domains and which countries do not. I think we should read a little bit of this, look at the guidelines and continue with the survey. The new survey must look in each country, who registers names of domain, and if you agree to register IDN domain names, and if you agree to them, what are the established rules. As discussed yesterday, Monday, at the LACRALO Monthly Meeting, I invite all members of all our ALSs, to collaborate in this survey, essential to continue the great task of LACRALO collaborate with the IDN domain registrations that are necessary in our Region. Thank you very much and best regards Alberto Soto
