ICANN Corporation announced on full internationalized domains test period cease. October, 9, 2007, by ICANN’s decision 11 test internationalized domains in 10 different languages including Russian, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Greek and Hindi, were included into DNS root zone. They were created for finding out how internationalized domains usage would influence the Global net.
ICANN gladly states that no negative influence of internationalized domain names on Internet has been detected during past 6 years. Moreover, several dozens of top-level internationalized domains are successfully functioning in operating, not test mode.
Thus ICANN declares on test program full cease. October, 31, this year all test internationalized domains will be deleted from DNS root zone.
