Experts will discuss how to implement a sweeping set of changes for Web addresses and protocols, such as the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), that will introduce new multimedia and automation capabilities and end the online domination of the English language.

The revolution of Top Level Domains [TLDs] and Internationalised Domain Names [IDNs] has been a hot topic for the regulator, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which created a implementation draft from discussions in its June meeting in Paris this year.

ICANN will hold the first of three conferences next year in Mexico, before opening in Sydney in June, and Korea in October. The six-day Sydney meeting took two years to be approved by ICANN and will represent the Asia Pacific region.

ICANN executive officer Paul Levins said the Prime Minister and NSW Premier wrote to the regulator to lobby for the Sydney meeting.

"The meeting will be a first for Sydney and will attract experts from around the world, including inventors of the Internet, to discuss issues dealing with the future of the expansion of the Internet," Levins said.
