Hi Tseng / Paul, I like Tseng's idea for a new type of ML-gTLD very very very very very much! :-)
Unfortunately, I don't think it answers the problem Paul and I brought up- which is what to do about the *current situation* with the gTLD that has registered domains in Chinese, Japanese, Korean (even a mixture of them) if infact we want to prohibit CDNs and let the other IDNs move forward.
