On May 15th, at its headquarters in Coquimbo, the Faculty of Law of the Universidad Católica del Norte organized a seminar on Internet Governance and Universal Acceptance. Included in this event were representatives of academia and the regional Internet technical community: Professor Patricio Poblete, director of NIC Chile, Margarita Valdés, Legal and Commercial director of the organization and Luis Arancibia, lawyer in the Legal area of NIC Chile.
Professor Humberto Carrasco, dean of the Faculty of Legal Sciences of the university, explained that this meeting not only sought to share
technical knowledge but also inspire action to actively participate in
discussions that collaborate in building a truly inclusive Internet.
In this sense, a fully multilingual Internet is a condition of digital
inclusion, hence the relevance of Universal Acceptance
Professor Patricio Poblete, who is a member of the Board of the
ICANN organization (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) offered an
explanatory presentation for the activity on the technical functioning of
the Internet and the organizations that manage spaces within the domain
name system. In the case of NIC Chile, this entity, a member of the technical
community and dependent on the University of Chile, has the responsibility
of managing the registration of the .CL geocode domain that identifies
Chile on the Internet.
In the activity, Luis Arancibia, who presides over the regional
organization of registries of Latin American and Caribbean domains (LACTLD
), explained his contribution in the regional field
to the consolidation and expansion of the concept of multistakeholder Internet Governance,
intervening on an equal footing in horizontal
processes to achieve agreements and consensus that allow the evolution of
the Internet, adding the relevance of the growing collaboration and
strategic relationship that the regional technical community is carrying
out with the other participating actors, such as governments and
multilateral organizations.
In her presentation, Margarita Valdés detailed the efforts of NIC Chile
for incorporating early (2005)
the capabilities in the DNS to use extended characters, being the first Spanish-speaking registry
that implemented internationalized Domain Name technology. She also
referred to the pending challenges related to deepening the inclusion
capacities supported by the concept of Universal Acceptance, where the
industry must take steps so that all applications and systems accept and
properly process special characters both in domains and in addresses and
emails.
This seminar also featured, among other speakers, the remote participation
of Rodrigo de la Parra, regional vice president of ICANN for Latin America
and the Caribbean, who reported on the efforts being made to raise
awareness among all those involved in the problem of Universal Acceptance,
presenting technical solutions and good practices required to fully enable
multilingualism on the Internet.
