You’re an old guy who doesn’t get it!
Thank you for covering this. Nice to have a little controversy in the domain world.
Emoji Domains are the first new thing to come to domains in quite awhile.
Given that we launched https://xn--i-7iq.ws/ just over six months ago, you’ve gotta give us some credit to getting to the point where ICANN feels like they have to comment. We hope this is the beginning of a conversation. We’ll we able to address their concerns.

Do an experiment. As you wander around today, count the number of emoji you see. Take note of where you see them.
Do they make sense?
You might be surprised.
Do a search for “Emoji Domains” – they actually show up really well in search, distinguishing them from the non-emoji competition.
