How about alternative roots? ICANN does censor "XN--55QX5D.", "XN--FIQS8S." and "XN--IO0A7I." already. You must use alternative roots to exchange emails with people living in those domains.
Unfortunately, they also censor "ENYO.".
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." The English-language dictionary does not contain the words willkommen or verstehen. But that is NOT censorship. It is simply because those words are not defined in that language. The current root name servers - the REAL ones - have a limited set of domains that are defined in them. They are not censoring any others. The others are simply not (yet?) defined. I am sure that some have been submitted and rejected. I believe that most of them have not even been submitted. Please drop this word "censor", since you hopefully now have a better understanding of what it does NOT mean. And, as someone else pointed out, you can always use your "hosts" file if you want to have your own set of defined names that are not part of shared DNS. -- Joe Yao ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is not an official statement of OSIS Center policies.
