Implications of Active Variant TLDs

23 October 2012

Comment Period Opens on 23 October 2012

Categories/Tags:

Top-Level Domains, Internationalized Domain Names

Purpose (Brief):

To better understand and address the challenges surrounding the activation
of variant internationalized top-level domains (IDNs), this interim report:

    1) summarizes and compares, from a user experience and registry
management perspective, variant practices in several ccTLD registries,

    2) proposes a set of guiding principles to define an acceptable user
experience, and

    3) identifies how various user communities (e.g., end users,
system/network administrators, application developers, registrants,
registrars and registries) will be impacted by active variant top-level
domains.

The interim report is published for public comment thirty (30) days (plus
21-day reply period) and is to be followed by the final report, to be
published with ninety (90) days after the closure of the public comment
forum. The final report will incorporate the community input with proposed
guidelines and recommendations for active variant TLDs.
