Joe,

End users will be given access to the TLDs to register and test or only selected beta testers will be given access to those TLDs?


I think so. Thats what they are promising. But the facility is not available yet. With ICANN there is alot of fan fair - lights, sparkles, and other sort festivities everytime something happens. So i'm sure we'll hear about it and i'll let you know by posting to the GA if someone else does not let you know ahead of me.

Today all they did was load the TLDs into the zone file. I'm surprised with all their technical concerns that they did not provide the date this was happening. But then again any techi worth his salt knows ICANNs technical concerns are mainly bogus when it comes to the zone file. Everyone knows the TLDs will work and the emergency provisions are irrelevant.

My interest here is how will the TLDs work in browsers. The only country actively running IDN TLDs is China through MII. They seem to work well there but that country in participation with local china ISPs got most users to upgrade their systems. So this IDN TLD lauch by ICANN is the largest IDN experiment that has no co-ordination whatsoever.

Heads up folks. Today ICANN added 11 IDN TLDs to the IANA root zone file.

Below quoted is the output from IASON ( http://www.publicroot.org/iason.html ) detailing the additions to the root zone file.
