.idn Pre-Register Domain - .idn Domain Information

India (for question, evidence of Tax Registration in the name of Sivasubramanian Muthusamy, Proprietor of the firm is attached. Under Indian Company Law, there is no specific process of separating the Proprietor from the firm, and the Tax Registration number of the Proprietor is used for Tax assessment of the proprietary firm. If ICANN directs the Proprietary firm to be incorporated as a company, it could be done )

The purpose of the proposed gTLD is to offer a bridge for the Internationalized Domain Name Registrant to connect to users beyond their own language communities. This gTLD would be of help in furthering the Internet Communityʹs efforts to preserve the Internet as a unified, Global space.

The proposed gTLD .IDN supports multiple cultural, linguistic and ethnic communities across the world by helping communities connect to the rest of the world across the barrier of language.

i) The proposed gTLD .IDN supports multiple cultural, linguistic and ethnic communities across the world by helping communities connect to the rest of the world across the barrier of language.
ii) The proposed gTLD, .IDN is intended to serve users of various different languages, irrespective of whether the presence of the language is wide or global. Even if the language or script is completely unfamiliar to the global user, the global user will find it easier to decipher the internationalized domain name in a script completely unfamiliar to him or her.
iii) While Internationalizedl Domain Names enable users to connect within their language communities, the proposed gTLD would connect users from differnet communtiesto connect across communities.
iv) The applicant intends to follow ICANN policies by the book, and is inclined to take advise from Community Members to build up this TLD space as one with high ethical standards.
v) Nameshop would follow the recommendation of the Community whois working groups and ICANN whois policy and privacy policies to protect the privacy and confidential information of the users.
The proposed registry would engage communication experts from various regions in its effort to reach the benefits of this TLD to users across langauge communties.

1. Nameshop is committed to follow ICANN policies and community recommendations in resolving mutliple application issues. The proposed Registry would pay attention to Trade Mark considerations in tune with ICANNʹs UDRP policy considerations and where there are no conflicts with ICANN policy or community recommendations, would consider auctions where there are more than TWO applications in situations where there is a permitted time-lag between domain application and registration, if permissible. Othewise the applicant is inclined to follow the first come first served policy where there are no visbile indications of an intent to unethically prorfit from the registration.
2) Nameshop would consider introductory discounts, and would also consider bulk regisration discounts as long as bulk registrationsare not done with an intent to squat on domains irrelevant to the apparent Registrant.
3) Nameshop intends to assure Registrants that there would be no abnormal increases in prices out of tune with economic inflation or cost levels, but would consult ethical and long standing business experts from the Domain industry before making contractual commitments that could lead to legal complications or making contractual commitments potentially out of tune with established good business practices.

Nameshop commits to protect names with national or geographic significance by reserving the country and territory names at the second level and at all other levels within the TLD, as per the requirements in the New TLD Registry Agreement (Specification 5, paragraph 5).
We will employ a series of rules to translate the geographical names required to be reserved by Specification 5, paragraph 5 to a form consistent with the ʺhost namesʺ format used in domain names.

Considering the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) advice "Principles regarding new gTLDs", these domains will be blocked, at no cost to governments, public authorities, or IGOs, before the TLD is introduced (Sunrise), so that no parties may apply for them. We will publish a list of these names before Sunrise, so our registrars and their prospective applicants can be aware that these names are reserved.
We will define a procedure so that governments can request the above reserved domain(s) if they would like to take possession of them. This procedure will be based on existing methodology developed for the release of country names in the .INFO TLD. For example, we will require a written request from the country's GAC representative, or a written request from the country's relevant Ministry or Department. We will allow the designated beneficiary (the Registrant) to register the name, with an accredited Afilias Registrar, possibly using an authorization number transmitted directly to the designated beneficiary in the country concerned.

As defined by Specification 5, paragraph 5, such geographic domains may be released to the extent that Registry Operator reaches agreement with the applicable government(s). Registry operator will work with respective GAC representatives of the country's relevant Ministry of Department to obtain their release of the names to the Registry Operator.

If internationalized domains names (IDNs) are introduced in the TLD in the future, we will also reserve the IDN versions of the country names in the relevant script(s) before IDNs become available to the public. If we find it advisable and practical, we will confer with relevant language authorities so that we can reserve the IDN domains properly along with their variants.

Regarding GAC advice regarding second-level domains not specified via Specification 5, paragraph 5: All domains awarded to registrants are subject to the Uniform Domain Name Dispute

Resolution Policy (UDRP), and to any properly-situated court proceeding. We will ensure appropriate procedures to allow governments, public authorities or IGO's to challenge abuses of names with national or geographic significance at the second level. In its registry-registrar agreement, and flowing down to registrar-registrant agreements, the registry operator will institute a provision to suspend domains names in the event of a dispute. We may exercise that right in the case of a dispute over a geographic name.
