in group work and active discussions, and impressed the lecturers with their tenacity and enthusiasm. Inspired by what they learned, some have plans to conduct outreach sessions at home. Others expressed an interest in getting involved in ICANN and other regional
meetings. With such promising signs, the organizers will continue to engage the APIGA alumni, and look forward to organizing a similar academy next year. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

they grew up speaking; they can be dialects or variations of other languages. Most of the mother tongues use 1 of 13 written scripts, but there are 53 additional minor writing systems. With such linguistic diversity within India, the IDN ccTLD strings are
promoting the multilingual Internet for the non-English-speaking communities in India.
