A Chinese name.      Domain Name: BQ--3BQRWYGF.COM    Registrar: REGISTER.COM, INC.    Whois Server: whois.register.com    Referral URL: www.register.com    Name Server: DNS29.REGISTER.COM    Name Server: DNS30.REGISTER.COM    Updated Date: 28-oct-2000 So, it's either open already and no one is saying, or there are people jumping the gun and parking on domain names using the RACE code - and why not I ask? or it is already in place by the countries themselves -and folk are just doing it.   So I agree - why are we still dragging the chain? or is it simply waiting for the software to catch up..   oh well. there we go again   bob ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Wilson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 07, 2000 2:03 PM Subject: multinational already started??? Hi.   I just got the multinational name client working. After encoding several key names in RACE and looking them up in the whois directory, it seems Japanese companies are already registering RACE encoded names, like:   bq--3ayeuvankjgq.com (name.com in Japanese)   Is the bq-- prefix already confirmed? What's going on?   Bill
