Sri and all, I personally think it is shame that the ICANN is ignoring the IDNO. Further I believe that if you are persistent, they will have not choice but to recognize the IDNO. But I will mention again, as I have before, my belief is that the ICANN (Initial?) Interim board will do everything it possibly can to disenfranchise the IDNO. You need to take more direct and drastic action. I outlined the method or strategy which if I were you, I would pursue in previous posts in this area...
