I have a question related to the number of ccTLDs: For a country with more than one script, shouldn't it be allowed at least one country name for each script? The issue here is the international recognition of those scripts (I don't know if there is any), but I could see in India and China different kind of script in advertizes, traffic orientation , stores etc. nay idea how to deal with this in a formal way? I agree that country which have sold its cc for any reason, can not be allowed to have a IDN cc for such name.

I would like to comment on one issue: 2) Additional to Topic 2: Should the IDN ccTLD string be related to the territory name? Rationale: ccTLD should be use related to country code. For example, and no offense intended by the example, .tv should not have IDN .Television via IDN PDP process. A/ Your example is a very good one if you write television in another script like French "télévision" or Chinese (from Google - unfortunately I don't know Chinese) "电视" B/ Anyway I guess we want to say here via ccNSO IDN PDP process. Because .tv registry can apply for .television using the gTLD (future) process.
