ICANN to test non-English domain name
http://smh.com.au/news/breaking/icann-to-test-nonenglish-domain-names/2006/03/16/1142098568084.html

I find the statement below in the article interesting.  This is the first
time this has been raised in the press. ie. even if DNAMEs testing succeeds
and gets to deployment the world may ignore it etc.

*********begin quote********

"Even if the tests are successful, though, several policy questions remain.
For example, should the incumbent operator of global domains like ".com"
automatically get a Chinese version, or does that more properly goes to
China, as its government insists? "
