This Initial Definitions document has been developed by the ICANN IDN Variant Issues Project (VIP) team to provide a set of definitions of the terms to be used in the project.
The purpose of the Definitions document is to define and reserve a number of unambiguous terms. The definitions are not required to be used by the case study teams; but if the teams wish to use these terms, they are asked to use them as defined in this document and not in any other way. If the case study teams use these terms, they will be interpreted as they are defined here.
