The IDN Variant Issues Project explored the issues associated with the potential inclusion of IDN variant TLDs in the DNS root zone, at the request of the ICANN Board and the community.
The first two phases of the project have been completed with the publication of the final Integrated Issues Report on 20 February 2012 and the project is now entering its next phase. ICANN has created a program plan for next steps and is now seeking community input on the proposed steps forward.
An earlier version of the plan was discussed at the ICANN public meeting in Costa Rica in March 2012, to determine whether and how ICANN should proceed with regard to additional work on IDN variant TLDs. Feedback received expressed concern about the length of time to implement that version of the plan, and the priorities given to some of the projects in the plan. Based on the comments received to date, the project plan has been updated to create the Revised Program Plan \ [PDF, 199 KB\] now open for public comment.

    Section II: Background

    On 20 April 2011, ICANN announced the IDN Variant Issues Project to document the issues associated with the potential inclusion of IDN variant TLDs in the DNS root zone. This project was initiated in response to a 2010 ICANN Board of Directorsresolution.
    Phase I involved the formation of six case study teams for the Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Devanagari, Greek and Latin scripts. These teams were comprised of community experts with support by ICANN and identified issues related to IDN variant TLDs for each particular script, resulting in the publication in October of six individual reports detailing the findings of each script team.
    Phase II of the project focused on integrating those six case study reports into the Integrated Issues Report. To complete this phase, ICANN formed a coordination team comprised of experts from each of the case study teams. The coordination team advised ICANN in completing the Integrated Issues Report, which summarizes and categorizes the various issues related to the identification and management of IDN variant TLDs.
    On 23 December 2011, ICANN published for public comment the draft Integrated Issues Report
