ICANN has announced that it has a new RSS feed for news about Internationalized Domain Names (aka "IDNs"). I wouldn't get too excited about this until they start updating their main RSS feed (last item is from June), but at least it shows the organization hasn't completely forgotten about RSS.
I've syndicated the new ICANN IDN feed in the left marging of the icann.blog.us site. (I'd add the main ICANN feed to if it ever updated).
ADD: See comment below. I'm not sure when ICANN started updating the feed, but when I checked on it this morning through my syndication software, it was still months old. Nice to see it working again though. This is helpful! (and I've added the feed to the sidebar on the icann.blog.us page.

Bret, you should check again. There have been over 40 items added to the Main RSS feed since Marrakech, most recently 3 in the last 3 days. FYI, ICANN has also added an RSS feed on the Submitted Applications page for new registry services. See http://www.icann.org/rss/rsep.rss and http://www.icann.org/registries/rsep/submitted_app.html. - Patrick
Re: But Will They Actually Update It?
The main IDN page is horribly out of date: "The timetable calls for the start of testing in July 2006" even though that work hasn't even started, and there have been no updates. So, why have an RSS feed for a project that doesn't have any new items?
Re: But Will They Actually Update It?
They just don't update as often as they should. I just have to say that this is an international organization and their sites should reflect this, thus update more often!!
