Dear all,
I was very astonished when I read this in the mail sent by Joke Braeken:
"New gTLDs: Soft confusing similarity check. E.g.: Hotels and hotel are not deemed to be confusingly similar;”
I have looked a little bit around about “Soft confusing similarity check” on ICANN site and there is an explanation that the SWORD algorithm is used in the first step in string similarity evaluation process. String has to pass additional check in step 7a Quality Review for Strings That Pass the Initial Evaluation

From my point of view there is no chance that “Hotels” and “hotel” could be registered as TLD, for me these two strings are the same.

Dear all,
Just a small “no objection” from my side in the attached documents, to the suggestion to have .eu included as an example (page 3 – comment number 8 – clean version). Moreover, I took the opportunity to add in this context that an unchallengeable policy in terms of confusing similarity throughout the TLD space would be highly desirable.
Currently:
· When requesting a new ccTLD corresponding to an ISO-code, there is no confusing similarity assessment made at present. If the code is available, it is delegated;
· New gTLDs: Soft confusing similarity check. E.g.: Hotels and hotel are not deemed to be confusingly similar;
· IDN ccTLDs: Strict confusing similarity check against ISO codes and even gTLDs or applied for gTLDs.
Best regards,
Joke Braeken (Ms)
