The only risk is that the US Veto the proposals, in which case it would lead to a break up of the Internet because China, Japan, the Arab Countries and India will not stand for it.

Agree with your other comments. However, I do not see evidence that IDN.IDN has failed in China. Do you have any evidence of this?

Frankly, it makes no difference no technical difference to a speculator whether IDN.com or IDN.IDN prevails, but I think the likelihood that IDN.IDN will prevail and that it will speed conversion to IDN.

Well, my company in china used to have one 3/4 years ago, but we decided it's useless and dropped it one year later.

As a matter of fact, i think idn.com in China will take off as a marketing gimmick - a secondary keyword domain, to be placed on advertisements, and also for SEO - type-in traffic, and also for trademark purpose when the primary domain is a pinyin.
