Hi Katrina,
I believe the ccNSO should comment on the string similarity element of that monumental report.
Topic 24 is a serious failure of ICANN.org. We – the ccNSO community – has highlighted the inconsistencies in the assessment process of confusing similarity at: 1) ccTLD, 2)IDN ccTLD and 3) gTLD on numerous occasions.
ICANN.org should have coordinated the process in a much more structured.
We, the ccNSO Council, tried to suggest a common work/approach to fix this aspect. To say that we were simply ignored is an understatement.
Best,
Giovanni

Subject: [ccnso-council] FW: Action Wanted: GNSO New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Draft Final Report - Published for Public CommentAct
Dear Colleagues,
Annebeth Lange, our co-chair on Work Track 5 (GNSO PDP SubPro), has informed us that the draft Final Report of the GNSO New gTLD Subsequent Procedures working group has been published for public comment
at:
https://www.icann.org/public-comments/gnso-new-gtld-subsequent-draft-final-report-2020-08-20-en
The draft report includes without modification the Final Report produced by Work Track 5. Annebeth urged everyone to pay special attention to:
-
Topic 21 Reserved Names (see footnote 120), page 92/93 under letter c) on reservation of two-character letter-number combination at the top-level. Public Comment for Geographic
Names is included in Topic 21, under 21.1, referring to Annex I, which contains the Final Report of Work Track 5.
It will strengthen the recommendations of Work Track 5 if supporting those under 21.1, question 117.
-
Topic 24 – String Similarity Evaluations and Topic 25 IDNs, Topic 32 Limited Challenge/ Appeal Mechanisms (see page 156 for referral to Annex I)
Public comment period is open until 30 September. I would like to ask your thoughts: should we prepare and submit a Council statement? If yes, who would volunteer to prepare the first
draft?
Thank you!
Kind regards,
