Congrats to the first three countries to go fully IDN, we’ll certainly be keeping an eye out for the ones to follow and, most importantly, we’ll be anxiously awaiting for the internationalization of the gtlds to signal the completion  of the true multilingual internet.

The first four countries/territories to have passed the evaluation process [ awaiting delegation ] are:

Our congratulations first to the first four countries on the list, a big Thanks to ICANN, Tina Dam and her IDN crew, and a pat on the back to ourselves for patiently waiting for this moment in IDN History.

Time to take a moment, reflect in the events of the past few years, look forward and GET READY TO RUMBLE.

Let the Games begin.
