The creation of new ccTLDs such as “.瓷” instead of .CN, or “.Ελλάδα” in place of .GR, will undoubtedly open the internet and the domain industry to an even broader mix of people

How hilarious is that

Anyway it's talking about IDN ccTLD in as early as mid next year.

It's their attitude that makes me happy that I am heavily invested in latin based European languages. I would really like to see aliasing for Arabic dot com and net, but even if it doesn't come I'm still quite happy with the European stuff.

yea...just hold on to your european stuffs. they may become your retirement fund one day.

in addition to IDN ccTLD for china, i wouldn't really mind if they r gonna create a brand new namespace for chinese gTLD, that means late comers like myself would have a chance to participate in the 2nd round chinese idn "gold rush".

I might be wrong, but I think the days of gold rushes are over. Registries have gotten greedy now and they reserve the good names to auction later, e.g. taking the money that speculators would get and keeping it for themselves. Sort of like eliminating the middle-man, but from the top-down.
