Re: [At-Large] [CPWG] IDN usage from the HosterStats July 2021 legacy gTLD web usage survey
Hi John. Thank you for this information, especially for those of us who don't work in the area of domain names, but who find this sort of information interesting. It certainly gives us an idea of what people are doing with their IDN. I wondered if this list helps us indicate what the issues are for IDNs when only 10.24% of them are active? Does that mean that they have actual operational websites? with 3.96% of these being used for sales? What support do they need to increase the number of active sites? Is that what the UA working group is assisting with? Maureen On Wed, Jul 14, 2021 at 12:11 PM John McCormac via CPWG <cpwg@icann.org> wrote:
There was some discussion on today's Zoom meeting about an upcoming IDN domain name webinar later this month. I ran a 1.95 million domain name web usage survey earlier this week. There were 21,342 IDNs in the survey set and 1,690 were in .COM.
From the preliminary data, (the data is still being processed), the results for the .COM IDNs are: 7.87% No Response 30.65% No site 10.24% Active 1.12% sites from other TLDs 1.36% In Page Redirects 2.9% External TLD Redirects 3.14% Not Found/Forbidden 9.05% Holding Page 2.54% Internal redirect 0.71% No content 1.18% Affiliate Landing pages 0.12% Redirect to same name in other TLD 10.53% PPC parking 1.72% Redirect 3.96% Sales 6.04% Redirect to HTTPS version of site 0.5% Unavailable 6.34% Redirect to other name in gTLD
It is a very small sub-sample of a sample from a large gTLD. The total number of IDNs in the legacy gTLDs is 1,691,308 and 886,053 in .COM.
The percentage of .COM domain names on sale is 9.71% (Approximately 15 million out of 155 million.)
IDNs might follow ccTLD rules due to their linguistic and geographical concentration and it might be better to examine their use in relevant ccTLDs (or new gTLDs) rather than the legacy gTLDs. The new gTLD web usage survey (also run this week) is next in the queue for processing and it has some IDN specific gTLDs which may give some more insights into how they are being used.

Maureen some who do work somewhat with domain names - a primary concern of ICANN, the other two being IP addresses and IETF protocol parameters - will probably ask a different question (and have an answer): are these protective registrations, or are they pure speculation, sitting on a domain name that may become attractive and sold in the secondary market? Secondary question, not involved with domain names, IP addresses, and protocol parameters, what is the role in ICANN?

Dear Alejandro Your questions are well out of my league but I believe that they have been asked many times before, yet I'm not sure what the conclusions were. No doubt more grist for the CPWG mill as IDNs are brought to the discussion table by the IDN working party for each of the next several weeks.
