I refer to our resolution in June and July about Confusingly similar TLD strings and our request for the AG to be updated regarding the issue: http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/#201006 (20100610-1) and http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/#201007 (20100715-1) It seems to me (based on the redline version) that nothing to that effect seems to have been put in place, and the String Similarity review still says: An application that fails the String Similarity review due to similarity to an existing TLD will not pass the Initial Evaluation, and no further reviews will be available. I wonder if anyone did find the changes relevant to our resolution... and whether staff can help explain what actions were taken with regards to the above resolutions... Edmon
