IDN Transliterations of .com & .net[edit | edit source]

During its first quarter earnings report, on April 26, 2012, it was confirmed that Verisign would be applying for 14 new gTLDs, 12 of which are foreign language transliterations of .com and .net.

Application[edit | edit source]
Excerpted from applicant response to question #18 in TLD application:
"As of this writing, more than 800,000 internationalized second-level domain names are registered in .com, including approximately 100,000 in Hangul. The KOREAN_TRANSLITERATION_OF_.COM gTLD, along with the other proposed IDN transliterations of .com, provide an immediate benefit to registrants of those names by giving them the opportunity to register IDN second-level domain names as “IDN.IDN” domain names. That is, registrants can use their preferred script in both the second-level domain name and the gTLD name. Doing so improves these domain names’ functionality and accessibility to speakers of non-Latin-based languages.
We anticipate that the availability of the KOREAN_TRANSLITERATION_OF_.COM will greatly increase the appeal and value of internationalized addresses in Korea. Expanding the accessibility and functionality of these domain names to users worldwide is the primary benefit of all internationalized transliterations of .com."

The initial target audience for KOREAN_TRANSLITERATION_OF_.COM is the registrants of the approximately 100,000 IDN second-level addresses in .com. These registrants will have the opportunity to register their IDN.com addresses as IDN. KOREAN_TRANSLITERATION_OF_.COM addresses. [5]
