Thanks Edmon.

The changes have been incorporated in the attached document.  We will use this version for our call today.

Hi Everyone,

please find a rough draft for 4th part (with minor edits to part 1) as discussed from last meeting:

======================================================

2.7       Similarity and Confusability of Labels

...

Commingling of cross-script code points in a single IDN label (recommendation 5, version 3)

All code points in a single label must be taken from the same script as determined by the Unicode Standard Annex #24: Script Names http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr24[unicode.org]. Exceptions to this guideline are permissible for languages with established orthographies and conventions that require the commingled use of multiple scripts.

....

Harmonization of variant rules across same-script IDN tables

...

Cross-script homoglyph labels

...

Limitations of IDN tables and policies

In the case of any exceptions made allowing mixing of scripts, visually confusable characters from different scripts will not be allowed to co-exist in a single set of permissible code points unless a corresponding policy and character table is clearly defined.  TLD registries should also consider policies for visually confusable characters within a same script.  Nevertheless, it is important to understand that not all visual confusing similarity issues can be addressed by IDN tables, LGRs and policies.  Other policies such as dispute resolution policies may be necessary to mitigate against abusive registrations exploiting visually similar characters.  For example, even for Latin LDH repertoire, whereas the digit "0" and letter "O", or the capital letter "I", small letter "l" and digit "1", may be considered visually confusable characters the mitigation policy for abuse is often addressed by dispute resolution policies, leveraging other bodies of knowledge (e.g. Trademark Law) to evaluate whether similarities between names causes confusion and abuse.

======================================================

Also, my apologies, I will not be able to join the call today.
