[AFRI-Discuss] AFRI-Discuss Digest, Vol 189, Issue 15

Sat Jul 16 07:17:38 UTC 2022

Dear all,
 Raymond has suggested a very good topic, but I want to in a way, modify
the topic cos the aim of the statement is to bring the attention of the
board and community to a particular issue, and when it comes to UA, I think
one issue we need to bring to the attention of all is one of the challenges
that might be faced by all but more importantly Africans when it comes to
the implementation of IDN. Therefore  I would like to modify the topic to
be ' Internationalised Domain Names: Can this increase DNS abuse?"

Let me provide some background to this:

DNS abuse may or may not likely increase with IDNs  (no one can be sure for
now), and it is possible that Africans might be at the receiving end. This
is because if IDNs are not properly managed, it will become more difficult
to recognise a fake or imitated domain. This is because, with IDNs, a
.(dot) can make a difference depending on the language. This might lead to
an increase in the lack of confidence in the use of the internet,
especially in our part of the world where internet adoption is low. Also,
we have a large percentage of those who are uneducated; therefore difficult
for them to recognise these little differences.  Therefore I think we need
to ask ICANN to also consider this issue critically either by conducting
research amog other things.

Also, even with IDNs coming up there are still a lot of African languages
that are not supported at the moment cos of the Root Zone level generation
zone (RZ-LGR), so we need to also call attention to this.
I think this is important at this time cos the EPDP on IDN is currently on
and there is a need to bring to their attention the challenges that we as
Africans might face with IDNs.
