Draft Revised IDN Guidelines: Public Comment Period

ICANN has opened a 30-day public comment period on a draft revised version of the Guidelines for the Implementation of Internationalized Domain Names (“IDN Guidelines”). This draft reflects the experiences of the IDN registries in the implementation of Version 1.0 of the guidelines.
