  Konstantinos Komaitis:Joy is yet to be given access to the Adobe room - can

  Alan Greenberg:RC squared? 
  Alan Greenberg:(that was a joke...)

International Olympic Committee (hereafter the “IOC”) International Red Cross 
and Red Crescent Movement (hereafter “RC RC") and their respective components 
as applicable. 
  Thomas Rickert:The AGB reads: The String Similarity Panel’s task is to 
identify visual string similarities that would create a probability of user 
confusion.
  Thomas Rickert:In this Applicant Guidebook, “similar” means strings so 
similar that they create a probability of user confusion if more than one of 
the strings is delegated into the root zone.
  Alan Greenberg:First pass is an automated one -

  Greg Shatan:I believe the current name of the Greek community referred to 
above is Archaia Olympia (Ancient Olympia)
  Greg Shatan:Standard for String Confusion – String confusion exists wherea 
string so nearly resembles another visually that it is likely todeceive or 
cause confusion. For the likelihood of confusionto exist, it must be probable, 
not merely possible thatconfusion will arise in the mind of the average, 
reasonableInternet user. Mere association, in the sense that the stringbrings 
another string to mind, is insufficient to find alikelihood of confusion.
  Brian Peck:Applied-for gTLD strings are reviewed during the String Similarity 
review to determine whether they are similar to those defined in Section 
2.2.1.2.3. An application for a gTLD string that is identified as too similar 
to a Reserved Name will not pass this initial review. 
  Kiran Malancharuvil:Brian, please add Modified
  Brian Peck:b)      Applied-for gTLD strings are reviewed during the String 
Similarity review to determine whether they are similar to those defined in 
Section 2.2.1.2.3. An application for a gTLD string that is identified as too 
similar to a Modified Reserved Name will not pass this initial review. 
  Kiran Malancharuvil:it needt o be "a modified reserved name"  not "the 
modified reserved names" to reflect that it is any one of the names not all of 
them
  Steve DelBianco (BC):"If the applied-for TLD is not identical .. terms,. the 
applicant may override the string similarity failure by: "
  Joy Liddicoat:Have we looked at recent string similarity review decisions on 
this point?
  jeff Neuman:joy - the only ones that exist are with IDN cctlds and those are 
not public as far as I know
  Joy Liddicoat:ok - i think the point has been clarified in the discussion now 
anyway
  Steve DelBianco (BC):given the time left on this call, I think we need to 
discuss prep for GAC and GNSO meetings
  jeff Neuman:Agreed.
  Debra Hughes:I have another meeting in 15 minutes
  jeff Neuman:thx
  Alan Greenberg:I am ok for full period.
  Steve DelBianco (BC):I must drop in 10 minutes.  Sorry
  Greg Shatan:I can go til 3.
  Joy Liddicoat:i can stay for the full time
  Greg Shatan:I think Steve's point is very important.
  Osvaldo Novoa:sorry, I'll also be leaving in a few minutes
  Joy Liddicoat:Yes - and also actively discussing them
  Joy Liddicoat:I would provide a summary of process, rather than a detailed 
document on the options
  Debra Hughes:I have to drop off now 
  Thomas Rickert:In my view, the list needs to be exhaustive for reasons of 
transparency.
  Joy Liddicoat:196 languages? We are getting way outside the guidebook here...
  Thomas Rickert:The number of languages can be discussed. Nonetheless, the 
list shall be exhaustive.
  Greg Shatan: Kryqit te Kuq Shqiptar = Red Cross and Red Crescent in 
Albanian....
  Joy Liddicoat:Assuming that this is the option that is finally taken 
forward...
  Joy Liddicoat:I don;t find that a helpful question at this point
  Thomas Rickert:Thanks and bye!
