When will the first IDN ccTLD domain names be available?
The first IDN ccTLDs are expected to start taking registrations from individuals as early as the first half of 2010. The exact launch dates will be dependent on ICANN processing requests in the Fast Track System, including the delegation of the IDN ccTLDs in the DNS root zone, as well as the local managers readiness to open their own processes for domain name registrations. ICANN will make announcements to that effect as timely as possible. Please feel free to sign up to RSS feed announcements on this topic at: http://www.icann.
