Norbert Klein	Norbert Klein, a German citizen living in Cambodia since 1990, established the first e-mail system in Cambodia in 1994. Later he created and administered the country code address .kh, helped to get the Khmer script into UNICODE, and supported the creation of a working group to develop UNICODE based Open Source Khmer software (Microsoft and Linux platforms). The Ministry of Education uses these for all Teacher Training Colleges and all high schools with computers. ICT developments in Cambodia would not have been possible without international cooperation: early links included APNG, APRICOT, and ISOC. Later, the membership in APC became an important link, helping to look beyond technicalities and into the social implications of ICT. By now, Phnom Penh – not the whole country – is fully participating in the newest trends: wire based and wireless broadband, and a dozen of competing mobile phone providers. The most important feature in this field is the development of a growing blogger community, facilitating the exchange of personal information and opinion – fairly new in the cultural and political history of the country. Norbert is involved with the non-commercial constituency of ICANN since 1999, was later a member of the ICANN Generic Names Support Organization Council. Since November 2008, he became a member of the ICANN Nominating Committee. Norbert is an Associate of the Cambodian NGO Open Institute. He edits, since more than 10 years, a daily English language review of the Khmer language press.
