Here is a motion submitted by Edmon to the Council list from the IDNG WG. Action on this motion is scheduled for 20 May.
The passage,
"... it is possible that an applicant could apply for both a Letter-Digit-Hyphen (LDH) gTLD in ASCII and a corresponding Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) gTLD that could be deemed to be similar ..."
contains a significant error. Labels that conform to the host name rule are normally referred to as LDH labels. TLD labels do not designate hosts and are subject to the further restriction of being alphabetic only; they are not LDH, they are L, but that abbreviation is not used.
Since A-labels (the form of an IDN that is actually entered into the DNS) contain both hyphens and digits, they are not currently legal TLD labels. This is regulated in RFC 1123, which is currently being revised to permit A-labels in the root zone. The revision is very carefully worded to restrict permissible A-labels to those that decode to non-ASCII strings which are equivalent to "L-only" in the previous frame of reference. The notions of D and H are deliberately not being internationalized in this process.
Here's the relevant draft:
http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-liman-tld-names-02.txt
I therefore suggest something along the lines of,
"... it is possible that an applicant could apply for both a gTLD with a conventional ASCII label and a corresponding internationalized gTLD (IDN gTLD) that could be deemed to be similar ..."
