The owners of hybrid IDN.com owners do not have prior rights & it is not confusing.

There's also some guy called Asher Torman who has imaginary IP rights for dotcom in various languages because he is offering some alternate root extensions. :eek:

Last chance to comment for you guys!

Part 3 makes it pretty obvious. An alternate root (domainthenet) Lobbyist.

In addition there exists a community of Hebrew.Hebrew owners with this extension based on comments I read and research done. Those domains are supported by all ISP's there. So besides not allowing aliasing because it doesn't make sense etc., it should also be objected do to community existence. There are owners of existing .קום (com in Hebrew) who have legal rights and use those domains and have websites and should be protected too.

I can think of a couple people that lurk here that are frustrated as they purchased numerous domains from alternate root companies such as domain the net.

Just read the whole thing. Not worth replying to

Last i heard of 'toren' was on DNW:

“Investors in internationalized domain names have been banking on Verisign’s applications for IDNs for years”

That statement is incorrect. There are way more others who have not been banking on Verisign domains at all, and actually have been using full idn for ages in China. Some just don’t speak English and are bigger than idumforums is. They promote their idn’s b/c they made gamble on verisign.

Root was split long before 2008 – in 2001 all over the world in many languages – not just in China. Read the IDN Wikipedia history.

Those investors and users think very differently but are not part of Idumforums which is only really for promote Verisin domains. They want alias –even though-not needed and not done in many countries. Maybe alias domains..com to domains.co or to co.uk. In fact to let you on a funny thing-they banned and condemned those who were full idn.idn and did to them exactly what was done to them at the time when they prompted their silly hybrid VeriSign idn domains.

VeriSign has no ownership of .com. You are being used by them and I don’t blame you. I just thought you should know that there are 2 sides. There is no IP for verisn. I might say it’s the other way around as far as IP rights go.

I think "domains" is perhaps too strong a term.
