IDN TestbedIDN Testbed
• The Testbed allows Internationalized Domain Names in com, net and org to be registered.
- e.g., اوتيل .com
• The technology used in the testbed is based on the IETF standards for IDN.
…which means hotel.com

Global Registry Services Key Points for REGISTRANTSKey Points for REGISTRANTS
• The uniqueness of a domain name registration in the testbed is determined by its Unicode representation.– Different Unicode characters require separate
registrations. Example: ole.com and olé.com are separate and distinct registrations
• VeriSign GRS processes IDN transactions through the Shared Registration System in the same first-come/first-served manner as with all registrations of com/net/org.
• REGISTRANTS are participating in a Testbed, which is subject to change.

Global Registry ServicesKey Points for REGISTRANTSKey Points for REGISTRANTS
• The IETF has not finalized the International standards. Future revisions to the Internet draft documents could cause:– A Registrant’s domain name registration to become
invalid and be deleted
– Modification to the VeriSign GRS Registry’s internal representation of the domain name to comply with revisions to the Internet draft documents.
• Such occurrences will be resolved on a case-by-case basis, as they occur.
