NEW! Internationalized Domain Names Interface:
What does a customer do when they want to generate Web traffic to their site, but the visitors they’re trying to reach will be using non-ASCII characters on their keyboards? The solution is Internationalized Domain Names (IDN). An IDN is a domain name where the non-ASCII characters have been converted to ASCII to be read in web browsers. Non-ASCII characters can range from the entire character system found in Japanese or Hebrew to a few special characters found in French or Italian.
What does an IDN look like? Let’s take a look at BJÖRGVIN.COM. Since this name has a non-ASCII character Ö, the IDN domain will be XN- -BJRGVIN-B1A.COM. The XN- - indicates the domain is encoded, BJRGVIN-B1A is the ASCII version of the original name, and the .COM extension is standard and requires no encoding.

Bejing Football Club Wins Chinese Domain Name Dispute
In a recent court decision, the The Beijing First Intermediate People′s Court stated that a Beijing Football Club, Juventus (Juventus), had the right to use the domain name “juventus.com.cn” over Nanjing Yixun Technology Co Ltd who was using that domain.
Nanjing registered the domain name “juventus.com.cn” in June 2003 and set up a fan site. Juventus owned international marks in the term “JUVENTUS” since 1996. It set up a coresponding Chinese website “cn.juventus.com” in March, 2005. One year later, Juventus complained to the Chinese International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission, which decided that Juventus was the rightful owner of “juventus.com.cn” and that the domain should be transferred to them. Nanjing brought the matter to court on appeal.

China’s Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy states that a complainant, in this case, Nanjing, must prove the following in order to win his/her case:
A. The disputed domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a name or mark in which the complainant has civil rights or interests;
B. The holder of the disputed domain name has no right or legitimate interest in respect of the domain name or the major part of the domain name; and
C. The holder of the disputed domain name has registered or has been using the domain name in bad faith.
Basing their decision on those factors, the court stated that even though it was legal for Nanjing to set up a website for fans to use, they did so in bad faith. The court found bad faith existed because Nanjing included commercial links to make a profit on its site and Nanjing registered “juventus.com.cn” knowing that the term “juventus” was a well-known football club in China. Lastly, the court decided that it was evident that in registering the domain, Nanjing sought to make money from the “juventus” name, to mislead end users, and to prevent Juventus from using the domain at issue. Nanjing’s claim of appeal was denied and they were required to transfer the domain “juventus.com.cn” to the Juventus Ball Club, as the rightful owner.

Country specific domain extensions are returning once again to the fore front. In many countries the awareness and value of the specific Country-Code Top-Level Domains has risen considerably. This has been reflected in the growing number of ccTLD registrations and also the rising sales values of these domains. The country code for the United Kingdom, .CO.UK, is currently the leader in the ccTLD market. Sales registered this year for this premium ccTLD have included mobile.co.uk 120K GBP and fly.co.uk 87.5K GBP. We have also seen steady interest in other domain endings such as .TV (Tuvalu), .EU (European Union) and .ES (Spain).
Other ccTLDs also had reason to celebrate: Russia (.RU) and Switzerland (.CH) both reached 1 million domain registrations this year. Aflilias the registry for .INFO domain names reported that the 5 millionth domain registration mark was also surpassed in 2007. The Chinese .CN ending also recorded a notable increase in registrations.
