RESCUE CHINESE DOMAIN NAMES. Many Han character variants, also known as equivalent Chinese = characters, exists in Unicode. A Chinese domain name thus usually has = many different Unicode representations. As Unicode evolves, more CJK Han = characters are added to Unicode.

However, a Chinese domain name = service based on IDN WG technology is defective. We urge the working group to seriously take these cultural differences = into account. Do not finalize IDN documents without minimizing their = negative impacts against Chinese domain names. DO NOT DAMAGE INTERNET COMUNITY IN CHINA AND TAIWAN!
