In a surprising move Verisign has converted all bq-- multilinguals to Punycode during the weekend. They are going to accept RACE registrations for a while and will convert them automatically. Now the big question is: when will Tucows change to Punycode? As long as Tucows hasn't changed 1. management of these domains will fail because not found at the Registry 2. new registrations should work, but may accept already existing domains? (because RWI tests bq-- strings)
