Hello Cary, I support the technical trial. The more options available to an existing or new TLD operator the better for now. (note that you can achieve a similar result as DNAMES with NS records at the provisioning layer - ie a single registry database can populate two zonefiles). Likewise from a policy point of view - now is the time to identify some options and issues. In general we should not restrict options unless there is an security or stability issue with implementing a particular option. In contrast we could begin to create some initial policies that allows us to move forward with the initial introduction of IDNs where some of the choices are initially limited, much as we did with the initial introduction of new gTLDs.
