> Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) serve as powerful tools for broadening 
> the Internet's capacity and accessibility; however, they also raise novel 
> issues. One important issue concerns "variants" which occur when a single 
> character can be identified with two or more different Unicode Code Points 
> with graphic representations that may or may not be visually similar. IDN 
> variants contain one or more such characters and therefore, if not handled 
> correctly, might result in user confusion or a poor user experience.
> 
> In an effort to develop potential solutions for the delegation of IDN variant 
> Top-Level Domains (TLDs), IDN Variant Project Teams, consisting of 
> volunteers, subject matter expert consultants and ICANN staff, have conducted 
> case studies in six scripts, produced an integrated report, and are currently 
> underway to completing three projects investigating potential solutions for 
> IDN Variant TLDs delegation.
> 
> One of these projects is called the Examining the User Experience 
> Implications of Active Variant TLDs Project (P6). The purpose of the project 
> is to gain an understanding of issues that could arise from activating IDN 
> Variant TLDs and offer recommendations to users to avoid such issues. 
> Examples of user roles that have been identified include registrants, 
> registrars, registry operators, system administrators, network operators, 
> application developers, and end users.
> 
> Project team has published for public comment the Draft Final Report for 
> Examining the User Experience Implications of Active Variant TLDs and is 
> seeking to establish a dialog with the community to refine proposed 
> principles, impacts and recommendations of the study.
> 
> This webinar is offered to complement that process both by presenting the key 
> concepts and gathering user input.
> 
> The IDN Variant TLDs Program team is looking forward to your participation.
