<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<br>
<br>
Sorry for not commenting on this thread earlier -- due to a bit of<br>
overload, I haven't been following discussions closely.<br>
<br>
No, they aren't defensive registrations.<br>
<br>
ICANN is using those domain names as part of a series of experiments,<br>
which makes use of an incredibly useful testing infrastructure built and<br>
utilized by APNIC, that will verify the ability to look up a domain name<br>
from millions of browsers all over the planet. A high-level description of<br>
the experiments would be that the APNIC infrastructure uses Google<br>
advertisements to run a bit of flash code that does a lookup for a unique<br>
domain name within one of the icann.* domains. Over time, millions of<br>
these experiments will be run, which should give us a baseline of how many<br>
of the new gTLDs are blocked from resolution from an end user's<br>
perspective. We plan on running the test periodically to see if things are<br>
getting better/worse over time.<br>
<br>
As such, the registrations aren't integrated into websites in a way that<br>
anyone would normally see.<br>
<br>
Happy to answer questions on this if anyone is curious.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>

Subject: Re: [UA-discuss] [UA-International] icann IDNs<br>
<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;Here is an updated list of New gTLD IDNs registered by icann. I will test<br>
&gt;the other New gTLD IDNs when I have time.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;icann.<span lang="JA" style="font-family:&quot;MS Mincho&quot;">在</span><span lang="JA" style="font-family:&quot;Microsoft JhengHei&quot;,sans-serif">线</span><br>

&gt;icann.<span lang="JA" style="font-family:&quot;MS Mincho&quot;">みんな</span><br>
&gt;icann.<span lang="JA" style="font-family:&quot;MS Mincho&quot;">移</span><span lang="JA" style="font-family:&quot;Microsoft JhengHei&quot;,sans-serif">动</span><br>
&gt;icann.<span lang="JA" style="font-family:&quot;MS Mincho&quot;">我</span><span lang="JA" style="font-family:&quot;Microsoft JhengHei&quot;,sans-serif">爱</span><span lang="JA" style="font-family:&quot;MS Mincho&quot;">你</span> which is may favourite as it means - icann. I Love You
<span style="font-family:&quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;,sans-serif">&#128514;</span><br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;I assume that these are not just defensive registrations.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;I consider it crucial that when these IDNs are implemented they are<br>
&gt;properly integrated into the icann website. So this excludes redirecting<br>
&gt;to the ascii <a href="http://icann.org" target="_blank">icann.org</a> and excludes frame redirects. The IDN should show<br>
&gt;in the address bar and follow the pathname navigation. If icann have used<br>
&gt;relative url addressing in their site then this should not be a problem.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;And … in the longer term the pathname part should be in the current<br>
&gt;language. Using aliasing/links this is not difficult to implement. More<br>
&gt;explanation another time.<br>
