*Purpose (Brief):*

        

The purpose of this project is to resolve many of the issues necessary 
to delegate variant TLDs. The first IDN Variant Issues Project explored 
the issues associated with the potential inclusion of IDN variant TLDs 
in the DNS root zone, at the request of the ICANN Board and the 
community. The first two phases of the project have been completed with 
the publication of the final Integrated Issues Report on 20 February 
2012 and the project is now entering its next phase. ICANN created a 
program plan for next steps, posted it for public comment, and presented 
it in a session at the ICANN meeting in Costa Rica in March 2012. Based 
on the comments received to date, the project plan has been updated, and 
the team is seeking input on the revised plan during this public comment 
period.
