Re: [ga] potential IDN issue with Greek language

[Sotiris Sotiropoulos <sotiris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Roberto, Thomas et al.,

It appears that Thomas was correct and that I ran across an issue caused 
by an implementation problem with a specific registrar.  I have tried 
another IDN registrar and the issue I pointed out in my original email 
does not manifest itself.

I will continue to monitor this and report any further findings.

Be Well,

Sotiris Sotiropoulos
