Already, some 21 TLDs are whitelisted, including .cn, .tw, a number of European ccTLDs, .museum, and .info. Any other registrars who want to be supported can simply E-mail Gerv at the Mozilla Foundation, or his Opera counterpart, and give them a pointer to their anti-spoofing rules.
The Polish registry already refused to comply, saying that the Mozilla foundation has no legitimacy deciding the registration rules in ".pl".
And it's completely their right to do this, however, if they are at all subject to pressure from their constituency this policy will probably change over time if this scheme becomes a de-facto standard (say, for instance, M$ and Apple decide to run the same whitelist, the discussion is effectively over). What's the drawback again to letting commercial forces help shape the discussion here? I forget... ---Rob
