Наистина радвам се за инициативата, не може да не се радвам за това и никога не съм го криел. Виждайки сайта в този вид беше вълнуващо да бъда първия, който да съобщи новината. Признавам, избързах, за което съжалявам. Вероятно и очакванията ми за някои неща са по-големи и очаквам да се осъществят бързо в България ( с Илия сме си писали за това към февруари - март ). Хубавите неща винаги стават бавно :)
Поздрави,
Светльо

On Monday, the Associated Press reported that ICANN, the Internet’s
key oversight agency is on track to start testing addresses by
November which are spelled entirely in foreign characters. However,
determining which ones to allow will likely take another year or two
according to the report.

Up until now, addresses partly written in foreign languages are
sometimes possible, but the suffix, which is the “.com” part of an
address, still requires non-English speakers to type English
characters.

Vint Cerf, chairman of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers said that “The “live” tests later this year are designed to
make sure browsers, e-mail programs and other applications will work
well with the foreign characters.”

“We’ve already done the testing in the laboratories,” Cerf said, as
ICANN’s general meetings ended Friday in San Juan, Puerto Rico. “We’re
confident that none of the infrastructure is likely to encounter a
problem but you really don’t know until you are in the live
environment.”Thus, engineers are planning to feed the Internet’s
domain name directories with nonsensical strings that can be removed
quickly should trouble arise.

Assuming that all tests run smoothly, more work remains on developing
policies on such names. For example, officials have to resolve whether
the operators of China’s “.cn” should automatically be entitled to the
Chinese version of their domains and what happens when a competing
organization or a private company want to claim it.

Cerf indicated that “I would be doubtful that anything is likely to
happen until the first quarter or first half of 2008,” Furthermore,
Paul Twomey, ICANN’s chief executive, said full-blown rules are likely
to take 18 months to two years to develop, although interim policies
can be in place sooner.

Other interesting comments were made by ICANN’s chief executive
Twomey. He said that they are looking to approve additional English
domain name suffixes by mid-2008, as long as they meet their target of
finalizing approval procedures by early next year.

The new names would represent the first expansion for general use
since 2000 because extensions added since then have been limited to
specific regions or industries.

Вече регистрирах домейн на кирилица.
За какво е целия тоя шум ?
