symbols/dingbats are safe
I've been corresponding with Verisign about symbols/dingbats, etc. I sent them about 10 of mine as examples of what I'm speaking about. I wanted to know what is going on with them b/c my renewals are coming up. Here is their response:
Laurie, There are currently no plans to exclude the already registered domains from resolving on the internet, however, we cannot say for certain in years down the road that standards will not change. Our IDN policies are based on various standards put in place by the Internet community. We cannot predict if these will change in the future. I can tell you there are no immediate plans so you may want to consider renewing some or all of the domains for a year at at time.

Re: symbols/dingbats are safe
Too bad I still have not found a practical use for any dingbats... Most of them are so small that you cannot even tell what they are in the address bar.

Re: symbols/dingbats are safe
Thank you for sharing Laurie.

Re: symbols/dingbats are safe
Yes, thanks for sharing :)
I have plenty of dingbats i just can't figure out why I keep renewing them! |
Re: symbols/dingbats are safe
Thanks. Great info. I have some also.

Re: symbols/dingbats are safe
Too bad it's not Verisign's decision to make.

Re: symbols/dingbats are safe
I think all he is saying is that Verisign's policies reflect ICANN's and to date there is officially no change.
I would not interpret this as clear evidence that Symbols and Dingbats are safe. It would seem to me that Verisign have more to gain than you have from your renewals, so therefore may not be the best source of advice. |

Re: symbols/dingbats are safe
Starting price of one of the best Japanese symbol domains, with overture and google trends, reduced:

Re: symbols/dingbats are safe
OK so I'll write ICANN. I'll let you all know what they say. (though I do believe that Verisign is echoing whatever ICANN is saying...still, it would be nice to hear it from the "horse's mouth" and for them to hear that people are paying attention to this issue and to some people it matters a LOT.)

The IETF is currently drafting a new "inclusive" standard for IDNs that will 99.9% not include dingbats or any other symbols. The only question for me is whether current domains are deleted, or allowed to be renewed indefinitely. |

Re: symbols/dingbats are safe
I am not familiar with IETF. Who are they? I will write or call them. True I'm just a tiny pea in a pod and this is probably some huge corporation or group, but my motto is that it never hurts to try (or make your voice known). At least if they do get canceled, I'll know that I tried.
How are people's characters doing? Several of mine have blossomed lately. Most are getting 50-60 uniques a month (with clicks here and there), and some even more. The most viewed are the phrases as opposed to single characters. Here are my top names: ♀♀.net - 104 (uniques per month) ✈flights✈.com - 104 ✈flycheap✈.com 121 ✈flight✈.com 101 i♥israel.com 105 business¢.com 155 ♒aquarius♒.com 108 ✪.com 112 i♡jerusalem.com 105 i♥sushi.com 104 i♥tokyo.com 105 i♡vegas.com 103 i♡you.net 86 ★moviereviews★.com 91 ☆☆☆☆☆NYhotel.com 113 (4 clicks = $1.74) ❢.com 89 1ã.com 105 1¢.net 91 |
