In preparation for the New gTLD Program: Next Round, the ICANN organization worked with the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Script Generation Panels (CJK GPs) to seek guidance on string similarity concerns for single-character IDN gTLD applications in the Han script. The CJK GPs agreed that the work already done in the Root Zone Label Generation Rules (RZ-LGRs) sufficiently addresses the technical and linguistic concerns around string similarity for single-character IDN TLDs.
ICANN org seeks feedback on the proposed considerations for the application of single-character IDN gTLDs based on the analysis and conclusions shared by the CJK GPs.
The Public Comment period will be open for 50 days. For more information and to participate in this proceeding, please visit this webpage.
