A little change of heart regarding IDNs I see....with about 38% of their members at domenforum.net in favor of the new idn.idn.
This is interesting as domenforum have long been anti-IDN so this is a change of heart for many members.

To read the forum in English, you can cut and paste the url listing and plug it into the bottom line of
www.google.com/translate.
That will give you the forum posts in half-ass readable English.
Seems that many of the domenforum members that are against idn.idn in Russia are worried about their ascii.ru domains losing value. Many others see the value and efficiency it will bring to the internet for searches, marketing, branding etc. etc. Kind of an interesting bit of conversation and rationalization.
