RE: [council] Bundling of IDN versions of TLDs
by Tim Ruiz May 18, 2011

May 18, 2011

As noted, this has come up a few times already earlier. So far there hasn't been any practical soution offered to mitigate the potential for gaming and/or anti-competitive applications. It is a little late to try and resolve this now as it's clear it is a complicated issue that would take considerable time to resolve.
