RE: [gnso-idng] motion for IDNG WG formation

[Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a question that would perhaps be part of the WG deliberations, 
but could also be a reason to not consider the process at all.
The current interpretation of "confusingly similar" includes allowing 
objections based on similarity of meaning. What are the implications 
of having a fast-track IDN gTLD round with someone succeeding with 
the equivalent of .web or .mail in Arabic (for instance). Does that 
mean that such domain holders could then legitimately object to a 
later attempt to create those domains in ASCII because they have the 
same meaning?
