String Similarity: IDN Variant Review Results1 March 2013
In an announcement 
<https://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-26feb13-en.htm>
on 26 February 2013, ICANN published a list of string similarity contention
sets wherein two or more applied-for gTLD strings are identical or so nearly
resemble one another visually that they are likely to cause confusion. In
ICANN's New gTLD program, string similarity checks on Internationalized
Domain Name (IDN) strings go beyond visual resemblance. The string
similarity panel has now completed a review of potential IDN variant
characters. Based on this review, two (2) contention sets of potential IDN
variant strings have been identified.

As per section 1.3.3 of the Applicant Guidebook "Multiple applicants apply
for strings that are identified by ICANN as variants of one another. These
applications will be placed in a contention set and will follow the
contention resolution procedures in Module 4." For more information and the
procedures used to perform the IDN variant review see the IDN Variant TLDs -

The IDN Variant TLD Program is tasked to develop solutions and define
necessary processes that must be in place to enable future delegation of IDN
variant TLDs. More information about this program can be found at:
