How are IDNs registered?
To register a .INFO IDN, the IDN must come from an Afilias-authorized and ICANN-accredited registrar. The unique IDN is then placed into the Afilias registry IDN database. Before this can be accomplished, however, the names to be registered in the IDN database must be converted into the alphanumeric representation based on the Punycode IDN standard. The conversion of the IDN local language characters into the equivalent Punycode is performed by the registrar.
