I'm curious to see the value of a list I recently compiled of domain names
which employ the RACE Row-based ASCII Compatible Encoding) for
Internationalized Domain Names.
I've decided to sell this list via auction. I undertake to sell only one
copy of this list to the highest bidder. You must have a paypal account
in good standing in order to send payment.
If you want to bid on the list - please contact me via private email and
provide your bid. The auction begins now - no minimum bid - and the
auction will end at 5PM EST today (Nov 8).
If no one bids on this lists - I will also announce the same after 5pm.
The list is composed of 3,072 domain names which use RACE - a short
example follows.
BQ--3BLTAVX6.COM : TUCOWS.COM, INC.
BQ--3BLTAVXT.COM : INNERWISE, INC. D/B/A ITSYOURDOMAIN.COM
BQ--3BM3WW2Q.COM : INNERWISE, INC. D/B/A ITSYOURDOMAIN.COM
BQ--3BMPFDFX.COM : MELBOURNE IT, LTD. D/B/A INTERNET NAMES WORLDWIDE

Subject: FYI - stats on Multiligual domain names
Some time ago people here expressed concerns that there were many
preregistrations of domains starting with the BQ-- string. Yes - people
have been registering domains. According to draft-ietf-idn-race-02.txt
there were no domains starting with the string "BQ--" registered on or
about August 2000. I obtained a complete list of these domains from the
whois and can verify that indeed the "BQ--" string has recently
experienced some popularity.
To date there are 3,072 domain names which use RACE (Row-based ASCII
Compatible Encoding) for Internationalized Domain Names. The leading
registrar is INNERWISE with 1,796 registered domains.
14 DOMAINPEOPLE, INC.
161 DOTSTER, INC.
1 HANGANG SYSTEMS, INC. D/B/A DOREGI.COM
2 IHOLDINGS.COM, INC. D/B/A DOTREGISTRAR.COM
1,796 INNERWISE, INC. D/B/A ITSYOURDOMAIN.COM
