Chen Comment to Adm. & Assig. of I. Domain Names & IP Addr.
16.
The idea of Multi-lingual domain name system is good; but no detail
about this system is addressed in the consultation paper. If a registered
domain holder had provided an English abstract and related search
keywords; it is sensible for the domain be granted global access;
although the accessing terminals is running on operating system
of language other than that of the registered domain. The domain
may be presented as graphic images; and the content is therefore
independent of the language of both the server and accessing computer
/terminal.
17.1
I believe that only the most user-friendly, efficient, widely-supported
(not just Chinese community but the world) system shall last. China
and Taiwan administrations should accept the selection outcome of
the global Internet community.
17.2
It is sensible to have .¤¤°· treated same as .cn; but why spend more
time entering .¤¤°· if same search can be done with .cn? It
is clumsy (or is it possible?) to enter ¤¤°· on computers running
operating system of other languages (French / German / Italian /
Japanese / Korean / Portuguese / Spanish / etc.); their keyboard
are unlikely to have Chinese characters.
17.3
If it is intended to limit the access to .¤¤°· to those Internet subscribers
of ISP partners of its domain maintaining organisation, each domain
name holder would have to take care of two distinct addresses to
enable them to be found in these two domains.
18.
For technical concern, if searching English keywords in the English
abstract provided by the domain name owner is allowed, Multi-lingual
domain name system may be better than the test-beds because it support
many languages.
26,
27 Agree.
41.(a)
Who is going to pay the administration cost?
46.1
Domain composed of both name & unique registration number of
individuals should be used. An individual should has the right to
choose full name or abbreviation derived from his/her Hong Kong
identity card.
46.2
Arrangement should be made for assigning skipped registration number
to cope with individual request based on ones spiritual believe
(such as 9413, 709394, 666, 999, 13, 4444, 1234, etc.) The individual
should therefore have the right not to tell the reason why he/she
reject an assigned registration number.
