1. The GNSO Council agreed during the 18 April 2023 2024 meeting to request an Issue Report on diacritics in Latin script.
2. Per the ICANN Bylaws Section 11.3(i)(i), the request for an Issue Report will require an affirmative vote of more than one-fourth (1/4) vote of each House or majority of one House.
3. The GNSO Council was made aware of a potential issue whereby future applied-for strings in the Latin script containing diacritics may be visually confusingly similar to American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) strings, are non-variants, and the same entity wishes to operate both strings.
4. During the GNSO Council Meeting at ICANN78 in Hamburg on 25 October 2023, the GNSO Council received a detailed briefing on this issue and agreed to request a study from ICANN org to help inform the GNSO Council on the issue of diacritics in Latin Script. Prior to the request being made to ICANN org, the org volunteered to investigate what mechanism or mechanisms might be appropriate to address this issue.
5. Following the discussion during its April 2024 meeting, the Council discussed requesting an Issue Report on diacritics in the Latin Script. On 06 May 2024, the request for an Issue Report was circulated to the Council mailing list.
6. During these discussions the Council came to understand that a set of clear rules exists regarding the delegation of TLDs including diacritics, resulting from the considered work of the Latin LGR panel, and the Council sought to learn more concerning the rationale for those conclusions and the scope of authority of the LGR Panels and of the GNSO in considering these questions.
