Of course George is correct on this, wrt ASCII names. But we are seeing punycode (IDN) look-alike names a bit more often rear their ugly heads in the wild. I am unsure how or whether that could realistically be addressed through TMCH/sunrise/claims protection, but probably we all would agree we should protect against them if possible? Anyone have ideas whether it would be possible?

Thanks,

Mike

Domain names are *not* case sensitive. The owner of Example.com
doesn't need to worry about anyone cybersquatting on eXample.com,
eXAMPle.com, EXAmple.com, eXaMpLe.CoM, etc.
