New Cyrillic domain zones (gTLDs) already this year

There are big chances to see the beginning of registrations in new Cyrillic domain zones already this year. Meet new domains in zones:
. . . . . .

So why this may be true.

Premise number one.


On December 18, 2012, a lottery was held, playing a priority among the applications for registration of new top-level domain zones filed with ICANN. Priority will determine the processing of applications submitted to ICANN. This means that applications with smaller numbers are more likely to complete the registration procedure earlier.
')
But ICANN decided to distort a little, and help, according to them, the development of the Internet in Asia, highlighting the first hundred priority numbers for domain zones with the name in national languages. Well, of course, there also got domain zones with a Cyrillic name.

Premise number two.


In the last interview , ICANN representative Fadi Chehadé told not only about the application processing procedure, attitudes towards the development of the Internet in Asia, but also named the date when ICANN expects to issue registration for the first application - April 23 .

List of applications for Cyrillic domain zones.

Is Runet ready?


A quick survey of acquaintances showed that the overwhelming majority are not ready to perceive such addresses not by ear, nor visually. Trying to predict the reaction of the community, I probably will not, and leave it for your comments.
