As reported by TheHinduBusinessline.com: “Talking Internet with Tina Dam, founder of MyTLD, is a pleasant experience. She doesn’t believe in jargon, she believes in simplification of the web. She is a strong votary of domain names in native languages. Heading the IDN (Internationalised Domain Names) programme at Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), she batted for Indian languages. She believes that lessons learnt in India in this regard may well help the world in democratising the web. In Hyderabad recently to attend the CDAC meeting on IDNs, she speaks on some pertinent aspects.”
