The DNJournal Newsletter has an interesting article about IDN's

New Investment Opportunity? Nations Around the World May Soon Be Offering Domain Names Written Entirely in Their Own Local Language

Quote
As you have probably heard by now, ICANN launched a Fast Track Process this week (it began Monday, November 16th) that for the first time will open the door for nations and territories around the world to offer their citizens domain names using their native alphabets/scripts rather than the Latin characters used in the English language.

To do this, ICANN has opened the IDN (International Domain Name) ccTLD Fast Track Process to allow for countries that use non-Latin based languages to also request top-level domains that reflect their country's name in local scripts. ICANN said the approval of internationalized domain names followed years of intense technical testing, policy development and global co-operation.

I would think this opportunity would be for domainers who comprehend languages other than english.

What do you think?
