[ALAC] cNSO-SSAC issue

[Andrei Kolesnikov]

Thank you Maureen, good report.

 The origin of this story goes years back when I was representing ccTLD
with (still world largest) IDN obtained by Fast Track. I know how important
it is for the local market, government and end users to have an ability to
use local script in domain names. The process of similarity check was in
place without expectations to see a real problematic cases anyday soon. But
it happened. The similar process in new gTLD project was accurately
timelin'ed and works well (until the real confusion case at least). I'd
like to mention RFC6912 paragraph 6 one more time. The visually confusing
labels are potential problem for a registry, not to a root zone in general.
With IDN ccTLD registry procedures (particularly for mentioned Greek and
Cyrillic scripts) if any domain name confusion case becomes real, it can be
mitigated by the registry or registrars at the local level. I recommend to
support ccNSO statement with all balances and checks they've included into
the document.

best regards, --andrei
