The battleground then is at IETF not ICANN perhaps. We need to update the protocol. Edmon

So after allowing people to register symbol domains in IDNA2003, and then banning them in IDNA2008, they're going to do a back-pedal and re-allow them?
What about all the previous owners who were told their domains were being phased out and were advised to let them expire?

Dear Satish,
thanks for your kind follow-up. You are absolutely correct. But big corporations like Google, Microsoft, Samsung, Apple, appear to be seeing this as another potential huge market --- seeing that this has all originated from Japan and is huge there. This is a considerable commercial pressure. As ICANN prides itself as being private sector led, I wonder whether the pressure will be high enough to formalise these in the IDN LGRs? Kindest regards,
Olivier
