The Internet's addressing authority has approved one Fast-Track Process for applying for the Internationalized Domain Name i.e. IDN and it will begin to accept the applications from Nov. 16.

This move has come after years of technical testing and also the policy development as said by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers in a meeting that was held in Seoul.

Presently, the domain names can be only displayed by using Latin alphabet letters A-Z and the digits from 0-9 and the hyphen too, but in future the countries would also be able to display their country-code Top Level Domains in the native language of the country.

TLDs are the ones that have two letter country designations at end of the domain name.

Actually, the new domain names would be stored in the DNS as a sequence of letters and the numbers beginning xn—for the purpose of maintaining its compatibility with existing infrastructure. The characters that follow the xn-- would be used to encode sequence of the Unicode characters which would be representing the country name.
