==Development==
[[MINC]] began around mid 2000. The idea of the consortium was turned into reality by the combined efforts of the [[Asia Pacific Networking Group]] (APNG), the National University of Singapore, [[i-DNS.net]], the [[International Development Research Centre]] (IDRC) of Canada, and members of the Asia Pacific Internet academic, government and business communities.<ref>[http://www.i-dns.net/support_download/faq/faq.html i-dns]</ref>

===ICMC===
ICMC is the International Coordination Mechanism Council formed by MINC in 2006. This council is responsible for coordinating with all the authorities working for various [[IDN]]s, in a way that ensures a respectful multilingual Internet society. ICMC also works to ensure that all deployed IDNs are registered with MINC's IDN database and [[RFC]] compliant.<ref>[http://www.minc.org/news.aspx?id=404&lang=en MINC]</ref>
