same string registered at 2nd level across different IDN gTLDs [RE: [gnso-idng] rethinking IDN gTLDs]

["Edmon Chung" <edmon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Avri,

 

It is really quite simple:

 

IF you have "ella.com"

THEN you can have "ella.<COM_in_other_language_also_operated_by_Verisign>"

You do NOT get a translation of "ella" in ".com"

 

Based on your example:

> I have ella.com

> would i get ella.Hebrew_TLD-of-dotcom ===> YES

> would i have אלה.com ===> NO 

> or is that אללה.com ===> NO

> or maybe even אלילה.com ===> NO

(unless of course you registered them separately)

 

Because I am not sure what ".com" would be in different languages, I will turn 
back to my .asia example for the following explanation:

 

IF you have "ella.asia"

THEN you (and only you) can have 
"ella.<Asia_in_other_language_also_operated_by_DotAsia>"

i.e.:

ella.亚洲 ===(Asia in Chinese)

ella.アジア ===(Asia in Japanese)

ella.아시아 ===(Asia in Korean)

ella.เอเซีย ===(Asia in Thai)

ella.एशिया ===(Asia in Hindi)

...etc.

 

IF you want "אלה.asia" it will be a different registration.  As you correctly 
pointed out, it is non-unique if you try translations.  Also an important point 
is that this is no different than what happens today, so there would be no user 
confusion (or as chuck corrected to say user confusion would be minimized... 
because it would provide a consistent experience)

 

Whether:

אלה.asia == אללה.asia == אלילה.asia

 

Is a matter of the IDN Language policy for Hebrew under .ASIA (which in fact we 
are trying to develop right now for our launch and you are certainly welcome to 
provide suggestions :-)) when ".ASIA" launches Hebrew registrations.  IF they 
are to be considered the same by registration policies, it would be applied to 
all <.ASIA_in_different_langauge_also_operated_by_DotAsia>.  That is what we 
mean by offering the same string for registration only to the current 
registrant.

PS. I am not sure others did not get it... at least I think Stephane got it... 
but I may be wrong...
