First of all, we appreciate activity at the ICANN Board regarding Single Character IDN TLDs.  In response to the August 2011 resolution (http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-25aug11-en.htm#5^{Image Removed}) however, we express our disappointment and concern on 3 critical aspects:

...

    The issue of Single Character IDN TLDs have gone through at least 4 rounds of community discussions, including at the GNSO IDN WG (http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/idn-wg-fr-22mar07.htm^{Image Removed}), the GNSO Reserved Names WG (http://gnso.icann.org/issues/new-gtlds/final-report-rn-wg-23may07.htm^{Image Removed}), incorporated into the GNSO New gTLD recommendations (http://gnso.icann.org/issues/new-gtlds/pdp-dec05-fr-parta-08aug07.htm^{Image Removed}), and of course the JIG report (http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/jig-final-report-single-character-idns-30mar11-en.pdf).&nbsp^{Image Removed}; Each time there is consistent consensus support from the community for allowing Single Character IDN TLDs in the new gTLD process (including the first round), and no objections were received from any of the ACs.  The August 2011 Board resolution specifying that Single Character IDN TLDs not be included in the first round ignores this repeated community consensus without reasonable rationale.
