But this is separate from Verisign IDN.com and if there were another .IDN (Verisign) counterpart created, it would likely need to be something different than this .IDN extension ending I would imagine to avoid conflict. |
Yes, this is nothing to do with Verisign but it is authorised by CNNIC which I think one could treat as being of equal standing.
Having discussed this at length with Chinese IDNers Verisign would be well advised to drop this in Favour of 商 and 网 for dot com and dot net.
The consensus is that although two symbol words work better with Keywords, for the the extension where the dot has to be pronounced a single symbol word would sound better and be easier to pronounce. The chinese use single symbols for their Family names so this would not seem strange to them.
