Has anyone else received a notice that Verisign intend deleting one of their IDN's ?. I received following today (I have anonymised the domain itself) ;


The Registry has advised us that they will be deleting the below IDN domain
from your account:

xn--XXXX.com

This domain will be deleted on approximately the 6^th of July, 2011 and we
will credit your account with a refund for its registration.

The decision to delete it relates to a new standard that the Registry has
adopted. RFC 5891 applies to Internationalized Domain Names in Application (IDNA) and you can read more about it here:
([1]http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5891.txt). In compliance with this
standard, Verisign implemented filters to block future registrations of
disallowed strings and is deleting domains that already exist in conflict
with the standard.

I am not too worried as is only one domain but would be interested to know
if anyone else has been effected ?.

Yes.

Received the same notice for about 50 of my IDNs.

And I am WORRIED.

Spent lots of time, money and resources !

What they gonna do ? Refund me 6 dollars for each domain ?

All domains registered early 2005, a bit too late now after 6 years of paid renewals to decide they are not allowed !

Phew, just glad I only had 1 that was deleted not 50. Sorry to hear that, so 6 years renewals wasted I guess.
