Lumping idn.com and idn.net into the new gtld cash grab program is fine as long as they get included. Giving international language country code names a 2+ year jump is outrageous and unfair. Making the internet a truly inclusive place means letting people type, develop and surf websites in their native languages in the .com and .net extensions. Please speed up the international language gtld program so idn.com, idn.net become truly international extensions. Idn.idn is the future. More .whatever names only grabs more $$ from English speaking internet users and corporations and does NOTHING to promote the internet as a truly inclusive place. With more than half of the people on the internet who's native language is not English allowing them to surf and type in their own languages is WAY OVERDUE and very necessary.
