Hi, does anyone know how individuals can go about with purchasing these domain names when they are released?

The ICANN website is just a bunch of technical and legislative information and doesn't tell you how to register, with who and when the registration process is open to public.

Thanks for your help!


p/s: if there is already an open thread dedicated to the discussion of this topic then please kindly point me in the right direction.

101domaindotcom registers IDN domains. All the good ones have been bought already. I thought i'd find some good pt-br domains there, but all i could find was disappointment.
