Wil is correct. We are deploying the German table this year.

If I am reading you correctly, you mean that you will deploy the German table this year because the DENIC or ASNIC will enter a table. If they differ which table do you pick? The addition or what?

In your contract with ICANN are you not bound by some obligations irt the tables?
Thank you.

Pat can correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that VGRS does
NOT have a table associated with the German language. So, if you went
ahead and register an IDN, and selected the German language, you can
pretty much register any label that is permitted by IDNA, including
characters that aren't remotely related to German.
