It certainly gives us an idea of what people are doing with their IDN. I wondered if this list helps us indicate what the issues are for IDNs when only 10.24% of them are active? Does that mean that they have actual operational websites? with 3.96% of these being used for sales? What support do they need to increase the number of active sites? Is that what the UA working group is assisting with?</div><div><br></div><div>Maureen</div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jul 14, 2021 at 12:11 PM John McCormac via CPWG <<a href="mailto:cpwg@icann.org" target="_blank">cpwg@icann.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">There was some discussion on today's Zoom meeting about an upcoming IDN <br>
domain name webinar later this month. I ran a 1.95 million domain name <br>
web usage survey earlier this week. There were 21,342 IDNs in the survey <br>
set and 1,690 were in .COM.<br>
<br>
From the preliminary data, (the data is still being processed), the <br>
results for the .COM IDNs are:<br>
7.87% No Response<br>
30.65% No site<br>
10.24% Active<br>
1.12% sites from other TLDs<br>
1.36% In Page Redirects<br>
2.9% External TLD Redirects<br>
3.14% Not Found/Forbidden<br>
9.05% Holding Page<br>
2.54% Internal redirect<br>
0.71% No content<br>
1.18% Affiliate Landing pages<br>
0.12% Redirect to same name in other TLD<br>
10.53% PPC parking<br>
1.72% Redirect<br>
3.96% Sales<br>
6.04% Redirect to HTTPS version of site<br>
0.5% Unavailable<br>
6.34% Redirect to other name in gTLD<br>
<br>
It is a very small sub-sample of a sample from a large gTLD. The total <br>
number of IDNs in the legacy gTLDs is 1,691,308 and 886,053 in .COM.<br>
<br>
The percentage of .COM domain names on sale is 9.71% (Approximately 15 <br>
million out of 155 million.)<br>
<br>
IDNs might follow ccTLD rules due to their linguistic and geographical <br>
concentration and it might be better to examine their use in relevant <br>
ccTLDs (or new gTLDs) rather than the legacy gTLDs. The new gTLD web <br>
usage survey (also run this week) is next in the queue for processing <br>
and it has some IDN specific gTLDs which may give some more insights <br>
into how they are being used.<br>
