.JP Registry: DNAME aliasing for idn.idn?
I read this May 4, 2008 release from the Japan Registry Services entitles "DNAME Issues Regarding IDN TLD
Implementation".
For much of the last year only the term "aliasing" has been used by ICANN staffers, Tina Dam in particulary for the possiblity of converting idn.com, idn.net, idn.jp, idn.tv etc to also alias as idn.idn (equivalents).
Can someone from ICANN shed some light on what is going on with DNAME (solution proposed by Verisign), and also with the options for alising of .com etc. into the new idn.idn space.
Why is IDN.com seemingly kept a secret?
ICANN always speaks about IDNs as if they are something off into the future. Of course what they refer to is the idn.idn (unicode.unicode)
IDN.com, IDN.net have been registered by Verisign since 2000', and are functioning on the internet and in use today. Now that IE7 is out, all computers running that can resolve idn.com
I an curious why with all the recent IDN publicity, idn.idn tests etc. it is NEVER mentioned by ICANN or Tina Dam, Head of IDN program that IDN.com, IDN.net, IDN.biz, IDN.tv etc. etc. are online and resolving fine on the internet today?
