Fwd: IAB statement: "The interpretation of rules in the ICANN gTLD Applicant Guidebook"
Could someone explain this in layman's terms? It just says names shouldn't look like IPv4 and Ipv6 addresses and this might muck up certain IDNs, right?

Pretty much. It also says that RFC 1123 hasn't been updated to consider IDNs, so that even though you can encode all sorts of stuff in an IDN, they should also stick to alphabetic or the equivalent. I wouldn't be the least disappointed if ICANN took this opportunity to put the new TLD mess back on hold until they can resolve these and the other outstanding issues. And I just have to laugh that they're looking for volunteers to evaluate applications from people who want to pay less. Even "less" is $57K. Why should anyone do that work for free? R's, John

Agree with Antony, we do a lot of work for free at ICANN, still there is Money entering all the time to support the staff and operational regular issues. -----Mensagem original----- De: at-large-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org [mailto:at-large-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org] Em nome de Antony Van Couvering Enviada em: quarta-feira, 8 de fevereiro de 2012 21:50 Para: At-Large Worldwide Assunto: Re: [At-Large] Fwd: IAB statement: "The interpretation of rules in the ICANN gTLD Applicant Guidebook" Because some people care.
