Sounds like Verisign are about to start cranking things up a gear.

Competition from CNNIC in China is obviously a key concern.

Thanks Drewbert more insider news from the outsiders!

I note that under Key Capabities MarkMonitor list:


Domain Registration Services

Generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs)

Country Code Top Level Domains (ccTLDs) in more than 200 countries

Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs)

Complete domain transfer services


So just how many of their Clients' Marks have been protected by registering IDN?
