Dear IRT Members,

The deck for our 28 August 2025 call has been posted on the meeting page. The relevant AGB language can be found here in Module 6.

As mentioned on the call today, the agenda for the call includes several topics related to Module 6:

1. Welcome and SOI Update
2. Module 6: String and Application Evaluation Procedures
   • Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs)
   • String Similarity Evaluation
   • Blocked/Reserved Names
   • Geographic Names
   • Brand TLD Eligibility and Code of Conduct Exemption Eligibility
   • PICs/RVCs
3. Upcoming IRT Meetings
4. AOB

Note: The team needs a bit more time to consider the name collision feedback from last week. We plan to discuss the topic in one of our calls next week. We will confirm in the coming days.

Thank you,

Jared
