I'm not sure that's correct. Did you read the info at
http://www.idns.net.sg/ ?

1. The Asian language versions of .com, .net and .org are running in a
non-NSI/ICANN root server, the I-DNS Registry, not administered by NSI
Registry, and that I-DNS Registry could easily accept a registration for
and enter the Chinese character version of, say "gateway.com," and create a
"parallel" .com domain name space as a result; and

2. It shows i-dns.net's root servers are supporting the Chinese
character-set version of Jay Fenello's gTLD .PER, which is a new gTLD that
has not yet been accepted by ICANN/DOC (not to mention Working Group C) for
entry into the ICANN/NSI root servers.

Interesting days ahead, I'd say <smile>.

(And that's it for me today  - my 2 posts)
