As a non-idn owner but a potential idn site visitor I would be much more inclined to visit a site which has .idn extension so at least I have advance knowledge it is an .idn domain.
Now I stay away from idn's when I run across them and rarely if ever click idn links because of the hard to see and tricky looking characters and some worries they could be fraudulent or phishing sites. I do believe an .idn ext may easily contribute to a decline in idn's which are not using the idn extension and make the .idn ext domains more valuable in-effect.
A reason I never got even 1 IDN is because idn's being viewed as the exact opposite of dot-org which org's magically denote a feeling of trust, but idn has a connotation of non-trust to English language based users and web-surfers. A new .idn ext would appear to be a benefit.
Even myself as a non-idn domainer may consider buying genuine looking .idn ext domains which appears to be a major investment opportunity but at the likely expense of all the old idn's. I would not want to have lots of money invested in old idn's once the new ext arrives. Just my 2 cents but I may be wrong of course.
Looks like Rubberduck believes no one should be entitled to give any opinions on issues unless they are already an expert in the subject and agree with his views![]()
