Internet is really bustling! :wave:

For most domaining folks, a new gold territory is there for you to develop, so get ready to sail to the new space for a new gold chance, away from the dreary, unfortunate, developed space.

ICANN Chairman, Mr. Peter Dengate Thrush, has recently announced that Non-English-speaking nations could begin using their own scripts for top level domain names as early as mid-2008. :lol:

The Web is always developing forward and forward, targeting all peoples of the world, and customizing the Web itself for all peoples of the world.

The Web is becoming the Real World Wide Web!

A New Age is coming!

This is a New Gold Chance for IDN owners, traders and domaining industry? Yes.

Some smart individuals with keen, foreseeing eyes have already started earnings from their IDN domains' trade and other ownership activities.


Here's a quote:

Non-English-speaking nations could begin using their own scripts for top level domain names as early as mid-2008 says the new chairman of ICANN, New Zealand lawyer Peter Dengate, who was elected unopposed as the international body's new chairman last Friday, says fast-tracking the Internationalised Domain Names process will be one of his first challenges heading up the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).

Introduction of the localised top level domain system, he says, will allow countries such as Japan and others use their own script instead of English. That means rightmost suffixes such as .jp and .de can be replaced by local language scripts.

Dengate Thrush says implementation of Internationalised Domain Names will run in step with efforts to introduce the new IPv6 communications protocol that underlies the internet. This is being created to takeover from the current IPv4 protocol and will greatly expand the 4 billion internet addresses currently available to the world's internet users.

The new chairman said was pleased by progress made on Internationalised Domain Names following the launch last month of an evaluation that allows internet users to test top-level domains in 11 languages......

The Wellington intellectual property expert says that overall he is pleased with the shape ICANN is in and credited that to the leadership of outgoing chairman Vint Cerf and current CEO and president Dr Paul Twomey.

"There are still some internal structural issues, especially around the At-Large community. There is some debate whether this should remain an advisory role and is quite contentious." He said the role of the At-Large community had become an issue because of ICANN's rapid growth in recent years.

Dengate Thrush says his chairmanship will naturally differ from Vint Cerf's: "Vint is an evangelist and always in demand because of his charisma and background."

He said he intends to focus on making sure that "the business is done and new voices are heard" during his term.

He is talking about the accents and letters other than ABCDE..... used in many non-English languages. Countries like China will be able to use domains written in their own characters.

A note of caution - it is very easy to think you have found a great name in another language, only to find out after the purchase that an accent is wrong or that you have an obscure form of the word.

I must reiterated what accentnepal said. If you don't speak the language, don't be afraid to get advice.

Goodluck, and happy hunting. 98% of the prime stuff has already been taken. Some might get lucky.

you did not get the message at all:

they would introduce alternative extensions , so the domain won`t have .jp or .cn but it will some of their chars after the dot.

I can see a massive amount of domains dropping.

ID, I totally agree with you. After all what would be the point of using 'local' characters for the 'name' and latin letters for the suffix?

.com and .net are a worldwide brand. This has been argued over and over... give someone a word in ANY script and slap on .com/.net to it and it is automatically known that it's a website.

I was not talking only about those extension , but much more about names like:

abcdef.cn
abcdef.jp

Plus yes....all the idn with ccTLDs will become worthless.

I had a conversation with "Rubber Duck" (David Wrixon) a year ago on DNF about this.

I was not understanding how idn.ctld would have success and I was concerned about the release of "idn.idn" (which is what is going to happen) so I did not get involved with them.

IDN.CCTLD is a success. Where are you looking? IDN.DE have sold for $50K+. It's just not publicized. It really depends on the ccTLD and if it makes sense.

About names like that with ccTLD, I guess it's up to the registry to decide. IDN.COM/NET is already doing very well.

Super tired, I'm not sure if I answered the question. I'm half asleep ;).

P.S: Wish I knew a year ago what I know today!

There is a huge difference between latin idns and non-latin, like Chinese or Japanese. Of course idn.de will not lose any value, because .de is .de in English or in German. That is why most idn.ctld will be ok, but I agree that many idn.cn, idn.jp etc. can lose value...

Out of the bunch, I'm not familiar with .cn, but .jp will probably do better than .com/.net. .JP is widely used in Japan.

You're talking specifically about the Asian languages? Forgetting about the latin-based IDNs? Because there are latin based IDN characters.

What about them? They are doing well also. They will choose .com/.net also. For the Arabic, I have equal faith in com AND net. .NET in the Middle East is the only place where it just works. I'm not sure about the rest of the world, but .net is really big in the Middle East. COM still has it's power, though. I value them near the same. But the ASCII extension will make no difference. Researched this heavily.

.com/.net just have to strong of a global brand.

Impressive :)

I`ll take note and read of your sales and your story on how you became billionaire on DNJournal. 2008 ? Or 2009 ? Or...?

Cheers
