'''Technical training material around Arabic script IDNs'''<br />
Training material is urgently needed to use Arabic IDNs for a variety of user groups, including end users, registrants, system configuration and security personnel, etc. in English and local languages.  Though the need has been identified by many reports being published by ICANN and its community, there are no dedicated efforts to produce such materials.  The task force may assist ICANN in this process, to better serve the Arabic script community.
