Hi all, thanks again for all the discussion. I guess it's too early to find a solution for everything already now ... even before the group had its official kick-off meeting. But it's good to see you're all very motivated. ;-) Am 27.02.2025 um 07:53 schrieb Bill Jouris via Gnso-latin-diacritics:
Hi Tapani,
To address your Swedish/Norwegian case. As the rules are currently written, "ö", "ø", and "o" are not variants of each other. So one applicant could get all of ".sjö", ".sjø" and ".sjo". Or three different applicants could each get one of them.
In theory this is correct, though in practise the ICANN string similarity review panel would almost certainly put all of the three in the same contention set, meaning that only one of them would be handed out and the other two would be rejected and unavailable to anybody. And that problem is essentially what this group is tasked to talk about. Should there be situation, in which one (or more) of the contention strings be available and what restrictions would have to be created to avoid user confusion.
