I'm not at all clear on similarity of strings in the context of determination of variants or the rule which states that the same Registry Operator cannot be awarded a string which is deemed similar unless that string is a "variant".The String Contention process was identified in Module 4 of the 2012 AGB. The language there says: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.The link to Module 4 is here: https://newgtlds.icann.org/sites/default/files/string-contention-procedures-04jun12-en.pdfAnne_______________________________________________On Wed, May 15, 2024 at 9:35 PM 陳曼茹 Manju Chen <manju@nii.org.tw> wrote:Hi Susan,Thank you for the clarification. I have no problems using existing definition and rationale if they've acquired community consensus.I'd therefore suggest we clearly list the references in the Issue Report and avoid paraphrasing but stick to the original wording that has community consensus.Thank you!Best,ManjuOn Thu, May 16, 2024 at 12:21 PM Susan Payne <susan.payne@comlaude.com> wrote:Hi ManjuI couldn’t support that addition. The term used in the Request for an Issues Report is “visually confusingly similar”, which paraphrases the standard applied in the 2012 round and affirmed by SubPro recommendations 24.1 and 24.2. There is therefore a clear definition and rationale for the use of the term.SusanGet Outlook for iOS
