Hi Saewon, hi team, thanks to Saewon for compiling all this in a succinct format, that's very helpful. I do have a question regarding the new Rec 14:
*(New Draft) _Final Recommendation 14_:* /“To account for the "same entity" principle and its implications for variant domain names, gTLD registry operators should work with ICANN-accredited registrars to provide information [...]
I'm not sure I understand this recommendation correctly. So I'll ask some clarification questions or write down, what I understand and would like you to confirm or correct me, please. (All following references to TLDs, registries and registrars are of course meant to be gTLD/ICANN accredited.) 1. We are not actually prescribing *who* is going to provide that information, nor *how* it is provided. Only that it's up to registries or registrars to sort out these questions. 2. Is this on a per TLD (incl. variants) basis? So should registry X work with all their registrars to find a solution how to provide this information and should registry Y do the same with their registrars? Or should there be some more global working group of all registries and registrars to find a solution that should then be applied to all TLDs.
