It would help if I read the first slide. Let me rephrase my question: did the ccNSO approve the positions in the presentation or set a deadline for doing so?

Thanks much Liz. Is the first presentation an official position of the ccNSO or of the ccNSO GAC/IDN working group?

Thanks Bruce, so can we ask both the GAC and the ISO Maintenance Agency?
Also would love to see that research if you have or can recall any other identifying info so I can find?

Hello Mike,
Furthermore, we note close similarity among many
longstanding ccTLDs
(such as .ai/.al, .am/.an, .bi/.bj, .ch/.cn, .gg/.gq, .ni/.nl, .to/.tp and others). Is the GAC aware of any confusion amongst users of these ccTLDs?
Actually this could be a good question to ask about the ISO list in general. Ie did the ISO consider the potential for confusion when selecting the two letter codes?
Actually I have read some research to indicate that humans are better able to distinguish differences in short strings rather
Rodenbaugh than long
strings.
E.g humans can spot the difference between "to" and "tom" relatively easily, but not necessarily between "licence" and "license" .
