To me, the core of what we are looking into is precisely that under current rules ".sjö", ".sjø" and ".sjo" would (based on what we heard from previous applicants), be forced into a decision of only one being able to exist regardless of their merit, which seems like a fundamentally insufficient solution. There needs to be a fair and informed process underlying those decisions that doesn't just result in an automatic failure.
Anyway, looking forward to working with everyone! It's great to be able to discuss these nuances with people who are also passionate about language.
Best,

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. ;-)

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.
Cheers,
Michael
