Q
State of IDN gTLD
No doubt verisign is interested in this. Selling one domain several times- who wouldn't? But ultimately the users will decide. By now, ccTLDs will have a good head start in China, Russia,Japan and other markets. In a few years (if verisign gets its way) com/net will have to compete anew with...- Points: 1

Q
State of IDN gTLD
Look, you are advocating all these nice theories of "need" for .com (especially .com:) ) because you have registered few idn.ascii in those languages. This is the only reason you think .com is an asset. This is not enough for ICANN. ICANN has other priorities than enrich verisign or few...- Points: 0

Q
State of IDN gTLD
I am not calling it any way I want. I am calling it the way it is. This is not aliasing. It's extremely profitable scheme for verisign and this represents a problem for ICANN because there is no real pressing need to create all these new extensions apart from a questionable "brand indispensable...- Points: 0

Q
State of IDN gTLD
This is exactly other way around, according to verisign (Gomes), as I understand. Not aliasing. They want not aliasing but "right assignment" i.e. every owner of .com will have a right to register "equivalent" of it in say, .ком (and pay up for it registration). This is, of course if verisign...- Points: 0

Q
State of IDN gTLD
That's not the point. The point is that until ICANN's expressed commitment to aliasing or making them work in any other way (which is not even on the agenda according to recent statements), idn.ascii are a very speculative investment and unlike Latin gTLDs IDNs (Spanish or French etc)or ccTLDs...- Points: 0

Q
State of IDN gTLD
So you are saying .com is to give an advantage to westerners in accessing local markets? This statement will definitely help locals to give a warm welcome to Mr. Gomez' plans. As far as Latona's comments... I personally don't see anything there about idn.ascii. I see him speaking of ccTLD and...- Points: 0

Q
State of IDN gTLD
I see. But these are Mr. Gomez' plans. Of course verisign would be interested in this. This would bring then nice profit, selling each domain many times-what a concept... However he can't even start that scheme without ICANN (and this would take up to 1.5 years if it ever starts, according to...- Points: 0

Q
State of IDN gTLD
I think this is not very convincing. .Com is needed to facilitate trade... Who said that .com will be used to "facilitate trade"? This is a nice theory... Why not .ws? or another domain? And why not ccTLD? Why россия.COM is needed to "facilitate trade"? And why not россия.ws? You know, creating...- Points: 0

Q
State of IDN gTLD
I know that IDN have future but I think that concerns only latins, in other words, already existing domains that now can be written as they grammatically should. The sales (and recent auction) data says that this is what is reasonable to assume. So far all we have as far as serious sales is...- Points: 0

Q
State of IDN gTLD
At T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Tina Dam, Senior Director of IDNs at ICANN spoke on gTLDs in general and on IDN gTLDs. She noted yesterday’s success with 4 .IDN ccTLDs moving forward in the Fast Track process. When asked about whether there will be a Fast Track gTLD process, Tina said that it has been...- Points: 0

Sedo sitting on my sales transaction for 11 days now with payment received - what?!
Sedo is holding funds for my domain for almost 4 weeks now. Auction has ended, money paid to Sedo, domain unlocked, now they say that the buyer is not initiating the transfer for 3 weeks... I swear... There were 3 bidders on the name- why not give it to the next in line?- Points: 0

Q
Google contemplating pulling out of China
Chinese feel strong enough to take on the foreign interests in the country. Where are the news here? This was expected all along. No foreign business will push around Chinese within China borders, one can only admire such local government stand. They may have different views on what they can...- Points: 0

Q
Major developments in China - Google busted
Well, I think Google is pulling out because Chinese are filtering out their search in favor of Baidu. Google is trying to put on a brave face and is claming some "free speach" abuses- this is not fooling anybody, just look at Baidu stock.This is clear protectionism but this is how Chinese chose...- Points: 0
