NIC.VI 4608 Tutu Park Mall, Suite 202 St. Thomas, VI 00802-1816 US Virgin Islands re: ICANN New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group NIC.VI is pleased to comment on the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Initial Report. In particular section 2.7.1.e.2. We want to thank the author of the widely available “White Paper on the GNSO proposal regarding two-character top-level domains” which brought this issue to our attention. We are one of the existing ccTLD’s which would be immediately impacted by character confusion caused by the potential addition of a two-letter alphanumeric tld. A brief history shows Jon Postel saw determining what constituted a country and how it was assigned is best left to ISO. We do not believe it is in the best interest of ICANN to abandon this principle. The white paper correctly points out we can not presume what codes ISO may assign in the future, and it's highly presumptuous to think ICANN should be able to dictate how a pre-existing third party ought to operate. The result can only lead to balkanization. With respect, Sean Copeland NIC.VI

[Comments-gtld-subsequent-procedures-initial-03jul18] String similarity and homonym can cause confusions to the users' community
by พจนันท์ รัตนไชยพันธ์ Sept. 25, 2018

Sept. 25, 2018

Dear Sirs, The Thai Network Information Center (THNIC) Foundation would like to submit the following comment on the Initial Report on the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Policy Development Process (Overarching Issues & Work Tracks 1-4) as follows: Work Track 3’s Recommendation 2: “Strings must not be confusingly similar to an existing top-level domain.” refers to only the visual or spelling similarity. We would like to emphasize the importance of homonym which can cause confusions to the users' community, and must be avoided particularly at the TLD level. An example case can be found from the first round of the new gTLD where there was an application for .thai new gTLD which phonetically clashes with existing . ไทย (Thai IDN ccTLD). However, thanks to the ICANN board ruling, the application was "Not Approved” in November 2013. From this expensive exercise, we would like to request that homonym be explicitly included in the similarity to existing top-level domain consideration of the new gTLD Applicant Guidebook to prevent future confusions and costly disputes. Best regards, Photchanan Ratanajaipan Executive Director The Thai Network Information Center Foundation Tel. (+66) 2244 8261 THNIC Foundation 159 Pichai Rd., Thanon Nakhon Chai Si, Dusit, Bangkok 10300 THAILAND

Dear Sir or madam , My comments are as follows , First, we understand that there are a few TLDs have been put in the forbidden list resulted from the early study on name collision. Before the new round of New gTLD program begins, we hope that ICANN can look for one or more third-party organizations to re-evaluate these strings and consult with the community for the availability of the strings as TLDs. We also think that the former applicants for these forbidden TLDs will have priority to apply. Second, we strongly recommend differentiating the application fees between ASCII and IDN TLDs, and lower the cost of IDN application. We also believe that ICANN should adjust the application procedures to make the local brand owners more easily to apply for the IDN TLDs of their brands. Best wishes, Victor Zhang from ming.Ltd Group ,Hangzhou, China
