[APAC-Discuss] [IDN-WG] [ALAC] The Problem of IDNs

[Andy Gardner]

The reputation of IDN's on the security and stability front is about to take another hit.

PIR is launching .org in multiple languages, but the existing IDN registrants in .org are NOT being grandfathered into the new versions, even though PIR was preaching equity and stability in 2006.

"Principles for the Foundation of Top Level IDNs" http://www.icann.org/en/resources/idn/pir-idn-principles-23jun06-en.pdf

Later this month, PIR will be allowing different registrants for the existing пример.org and the upcoming пример.орг even though they have always said that .org = .संगठन = .орг = .机构

That's not going to help IDN's case at all.
