ICANN69 届会议将于 10 月 13 日隆重开幕
我很高兴地欢迎大家参加第三届、也是迄今为止最为盛大的一场 ICANN 虚拟会议，即：ICANN69 届虚拟年度大会 (Annual General Meeting, AGM)。这届会议原定于在 10 月 17 至 22 日期间在德国汉堡市召开，但现已改为按照欧洲中部时间（即 UTC+2）以虚拟形式举办。ICANN69 届会议将展示社群持续进行的政策建议和制定工作。由社群选出的本届会议的全体会议主题包括：
ICANN69 届会议的最新资讯有哪些？
首先，10 月 19 日星期一将直播一场虚拟欢迎典礼。其次，我们还尝试对部分会议提供 YouTube 直播服务，这包括:全体会议、欢迎典礼、第 22 届董事会年度大会。ICANN 组织将评估这一媒介用于后续会议的可行性。如需深入了解这个方案，请阅读这篇博文。第三，ICANN69 届会议是一场虚拟会议，我们将在这届会议召开之前举行为期三天的"社群日"会议（从 10 月 13 日至 15 日），使得各大社群团体能够首先完成其工作任务。
请务必谨记！
您必须提前注册参会，才可参与近 100 场内容丰富的会议。我们还将举行多场外展会议，例如分组社交会议、虚拟茶歇等。这类会议都将由 ICANN 组织和社群共同主持，旨在与新的利益相关方们展开交流互动。另外，大部分会议还将提供同声传译服务。我们将再次使用在 ICANN68 届会议期间使用的远程参与和同声传译平台。如需深入了解远程参与的详情，请点击此处，或到 ICANN 会议网页上查找。
致谢
我还要借此机会衷心感谢为 ICANN69 届会议的规划工作给予大力支持和必要专有技术的全体社群成员们，以及在不同时区内为本届会议提供远程支持的众多 ICANN 工作人员们。多亏了 ICANN 社群、董事会和组织的精心策划，我们才能够在 2019 冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 疫情肆虐的大背景下，仍旧敞开双臂拥抱这种创新方案，推进我们的工作。
我期待着与大家在网上相会！
Domain Name System
Internationalized Domain Name ,IDN,"IDNs are domain names that include characters used in the local representation of languages that are not written with the twenty-six letters of the basic Latin alphabet ""a-z"". An IDN can contain Latin letters with diacritical marks, as required by many European languages, or may consist of characters from non-Latin scripts such as Arabic or Chinese. Many languages also use other types of digits than the European ""0-9"". The basic Latin alphabet together with the European-Arabic digits are, for the purpose of domain names, termed ""ASCII characters"" (ASCII = American Standard Code for Information Interchange). These are also included in the broader range of ""Unicode characters"" that provides the basis for IDNs. The ""hostname rule"" requires that all domain names of the type under consideration here are stored in the DNS using only the ASCII characters listed above, with the one further addition of the hyphen ""-"". The Unicode form of an IDN therefore requires special encoding before it is entered into the DNS. The following terminology is used when distinguishing between these forms: A domain name consists of a series of ""labels"" (separated by ""dots""). The ASCII form of an IDN label is termed an ""A-label"". All operations defined in the DNS protocol use A-labels exclusively. The Unicode form, which a user expects to be displayed, is termed a ""U-label"". The difference may be illustrated with the Hindi word for ""test"" — परीका — appearing here as a U-label would (in the Devanagari script). A special form of ""ASCII compatible encoding"" (abbreviated ACE) is applied to this to produce the corresponding A-label: xn--11b5bs1di. A domain name that only includes ASCII letters, digits, and hyphens is termed an ""LDH label"". Although the definitions of A-labels and LDH-labels overlap, a name consisting exclusively of LDH labels, such as""icann.org"" is not an IDN."
