☯.tv - so I had an idea.....

[phantom4444]

OK so I got another 'novelty' domain,

☯.tv

Then I thought let's see if I can get yingyang.tv too. I know yinyang, yingyang two different spellings for the same thing - common symbol........

I settled on yingyang to go with it so I can do a duel assault on the public! :tu:

Hope all is good in idn land.

p.s. What is going to happen in Paris? I keep hearing talk that it's going to change IDN's forever.......Rubber duck, can you fill me in please?

Thanks

mainly, it's about the fast track regarding idn cctlds.

I wouldn't hold my breath though...

Thanks yanni,

It's good to see the need for IDN progression being recognised, yet as you say I won't hold my breath!
Still, any progress is good progress and we can live in hope

Thanks again

Agree completely, I just don't think we're going to see anything earth-shattering because of the Paris ICAAN't meeting.

Ak,

I see you found another interesting name after ☣.tv.
Here is my 2 cents.

☯ is a very popular symbol among Chinese. I would said 99% Chinese can recognize it. However, it's kind of difficult to pronounce or describe its meaning. Truely, I believe YingYang could represent ☯. But "Taiji", one of Chinese marticial arts, will be a good term for ☯ as well.

Hi, if you dont mind my side question

Is it today possible to enter a symbol site as the one you have there?

If you develope it how can I access it, do I need to have an plugin to Internet Explorer to be able to access the site?

Best regards,

Well, it may well change these forever. It seems that symbol domains are going to get dropped from Nameprep with the adoption of Unicode 5, which will mean they will no longer resolve through the DNS.

Framework is going to be put in place in Paris for the adoption of New TLDs which will include Fast Track IDN.IDN for ccTLDs.

Expect to have some IDN.IDN operational by year end.

RB,

How do you think about IDN.IDN ? Will it change the current IDN market ?
Thanks,

James

There is going to be massive publicity about IDN from the introduction of IDN.IDN. In many cases whilst that publicity is going out the only thing you are going to be able to register is IDN.com. Yes, in some markets ccTLDs may provide a lot of competition, but it hasn't really had a massive impact on the status of IDN.com in China where IDN.IDN already resolve. The dot Com brand is massive and will cope with the competition just as it by and large it has survived ccTLD competition elsewhere. I firmly expect aliasing of dot com to IDN.IDN format, and believe that it will be the existing registration that count.

Not to bore anyone with dry language and speculative crap here is the latest release of the proposed fast track on the release of the idn scripts
