What are peoples thoughts?
IDN at TLD level is clearly reasonable in terms of making the Internet inclusive. I think there will be some interesting technical challenges, though. Allowing a gold rush for "branded" TLDs is just pandering to greed, will cause enormous user confusion, and appears to contain no real protection against a scaling collapse that I can see. FYI there are moves afoot in the IETF to reserve a few TLDs for special purposes (http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ellermann-idnabis-test-tlds) Brian
