Dear Saewon Lee, At the last meeting, I did not decide on Option 1 vs Option 2. Having gone through, please record that I prefer Option 2 for the following reasons: - Modern TLD ecosystems involve *cross-script confusion patterns*, not just ASCII↔diacritic. - Variant Sets (especially for IDNs) and LD Sets share the same underlying problem: *user confusion*. - Allowing them to co-exist under the *same registry operator control* respects existing variant principles (used for Chinese, Arabic, etc.). - Option 1 creates unnecessary policy barriers without improving security. Thanks and regards Harsha Wijayawardhana
