Now we really are getting silly. If you want to bet on a single ASCII extension, it has to be dot Asia. If the IDN project really does fail, this will be Big Time

Regarding the IDN Project, ICANN budgeted $14,328,000 THIS YEAR (2009), not including all the money the various registrars are spending to "cue up". Wait til you see how much of your money will be spent for same in 2010 and beyond

http://www.icann.org/planning/ops-bu...amework-09.pdf

The plan framework paints the picture of an ICANN of the future that has:
• rolled out hundreds of new operational TLD’s including IDN TLD’s;
• achieved significant progress on all of the strategic initiatives;
• and remained financially stable.

IDN and New gTLD expenses
.................................................. ...FY 2009 ......................Change $
01- IDN Activities ..........................$2,111,000.............. ...+$ 1,143,000
02- New gTLD implementation
.................................................. $8 ,547,000.................+$5,907,000
03 - Operational systems for new gTLDs
.................................................. $3,670,000.................+ $3,505,000

Grand Total .................................$14,328,000..............+$10,555,000

It is amazing the internet has functioned so long without full IDN implementation. We only just got browsers that can handle them, and now we wait for ICANN. Oh the pain!

Thumbs up to the fact that browsers have had bookmarking features (since they did not support IDN prior to IE7). Up to now the best solution for many have been using "numbers" for website URLs in countries where people don't speak English. While we have the luxury of type-in, the rest of the non-English speaking world's best option was to do searches, then bookmark their favorite sites to be able to find them again at a future time.

Below is an example of how Chinese have been creating websites using 'numbers' that
customers that don't speak English can better remember...but soon they will be able to
type in URLs in real "words" in Chinese script that they can actually read.

Numbers have always been the underdog of the web, in my opinion.

They appear on every keyboard and phone pad. They are a constant, mean the same in every language, and never change.

They do not need to mean anything and need no interpretation.

172 dot com is a good example. All that is needed is a memorable URL.
