Now that doesn't make any sense at all! Sheesh.

I just noticed that my French IDN was thrown together with chataeu.com in the latest e-mail addendum. Awesome.

yes, by this time next year the major auctioneers will probably be asking us for help in setting up IDN auctions or at least in selecting names. I think that it must be hard for them as they were probably inundated with lists and ran them through some scripts.

In reality, IDNs need to be hand selected by individuals (like those on this forum) and others who have been at it for a while.

Also, I was surprised by the strong inclusion of cctld's with english names.

But thanks to the list, I was able to reg chargédaffaires.com

not sure what it means though
