- want to start them at $120 euro and lower it to 50 once Land Rush starts.
- Will support 4 languages that are using Cyrillic script (Russian, Ukranian, Belorussian and Bulgarian)
-Stages
1)Government gets the first pick for GEO's(ex. РОССИЯ.САЙТ)
2)Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH), who ever registered with this service. TMs in Latin will also be allowed to register transliterations.
3)Land Rush- everyone is allowed to register

If at any stage there are more then 1 inquiry for the same name, the name will go to auction.

Thanks for the info!

I really like it when the new TLDs (including .РФ) put restrictions on geos. That makes geos in .com/.org (other than country names) even more valuable.

Looks like a recipe for disaster.

Bleeerk.

I don't expect too many auctions going at a reasonable price, infact i dont expect many to go to auction at all. Words like online and site are borrowed words from English language, most Russians don't even know how to spell them cause they never heard of them outside of Moscow. :)

names ending with ***онлайн and ***сайт can and will probably get more traffic in .ком


btw PIR hasn't beeped yet. At least Verisign is trying.

priority registration is planned for jan16, 2014.

Landrush will start March 26, 2014 or April 2, 2014

They must have found a way around the "only nic.[tld] allowed to resolve"?

[Drewbert]

Ah. I thought the 120 day "nothing but nic" rule would be from date of delegation, but it turns out it's 120 days from the date of signing the contract, which doesn't make much sense to me.

But it does mean PIR's IDN TLD's can have IDN.IDN running from mid February.
