[[-- Translated text (es -> en) --]] Thanks MARCELO AND ALEX By the way, the possibility of diacritics can be very confusing for the user. And in addition, domain names of a certain level are the ones that users look at the most and where the most serious frauds are seen. Today there are many problems with Cyrillic, which is very easily confused with ASCII. I remember a long time ago that we had to intervene with the ccTLD for Brazil - .br and the Russian one because they were the same for the user, even though the letters were from different alphabets. So I think I make the suggestion to those who have free time to make a demonstration and if we agree in the directory it is done, without bureaucracy and with a relevant contribution from our region.

It would be important for ALS representatives and leaders to provide us with clarity on how this issue will be addressed and what measures would be taken to mitigate the risks of collision and ensure the security and stability of domain names in the region. In addition, it would be useful to know their plans to encourage the inclusion of indigenous languages and promote linguistic diversity on the web. The rationale for this concern is based on the principle of stability and security in the management of domain names, established in the ICANN Policy Framework, which seeks to avoid confusion and guarantee the integrity of the network. In addition, the inclusion of indigenous languages and the promotion of linguistic diversity on the network is an important objective to guarantee equitable access to technology and promote the preservation of cultural diversity. In conclusion, it is essential to address this issue in a proactive and coordinated manner to avoid future problems. Therefore, it is proposed that a working meeting be convened with representatives and experts in the field to discuss and define a clear and effective strategy to implement domain names with diacritics in the region, considering the protection of existing domain names and the promotion of linguistic diversity.

The situation is complicated by a path dependency of decisions we have made in the previous years and decades, in the sense of ignoring diacritics in many cases; so for example "juárez" is used as "juarez", "ñáñigo" goes as "nanigo", and so on. Now a possible collision is raised that affects both existing names and the next round. What can representatives and leaders, and in particular GNSO and GAC liaisons, tell us? The policy in question is subject to consultation at https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/preliminary-issue-report-... and combines a technical issue with a policy one. I would like to point out that for the moment it has no direct impact on the allocation of travel or positions and it is an opportunity to demonstrate that this community sees beyond those two issues.
