With the internet continuing to grow at breathtaking speed, the world-wide demand for new ways of using this incredible resource shows no sign of abating. Which is why ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Consultants worked with ICANN to provide the expertise to enable the creation of new top level domain names using Latin and non-Latin scripts.Ìý

¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Consultants excels at bringing together our experts with those who are seeking to access the fund of excellence that is the academic body at ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº and the partnership with ICANN - the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, which coordinates the Internet's addressing system - is a perfect example of this remit in action.Ìý This recent initiative will open up an entirely new way of using the Internet around the world.

New addresses in ancient languages

¹û¶³Ó°Ôº worked with ICANN to evaluate applications for new generic top level domain addresses. As part of the new generic top level domain program there will be new addresses in non-Latin scripts such as Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Japanese and Russian.

The contract was won against stiff competition from a number of high-profile organisations, including professional services firms.Ìý

ICANN selected ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Consultants as they were using Dr Chris Dillon's (¹û¶³Ó°Ôº and ICANN Project Leader and Research Associate in Linguistic Computing, ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Arts & Humanities) rare combination of non-Latin script linguistic and computer skills.

¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Consultants fit and involvement was further boosted because of its ability to provide specialist expertise, to offer access to a range of departments and its experience in putting together well-organised mechanisms for inter-disciplinary work.

From inception at bid stage, through to sourcing of key personnel, project management and completion, the ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Consultants' team handled every aspect of the proposal and project win.
