Welcome to the Variant IDN Project.
Goal of the Project
Announced in April 2011, the Variant IDN Project seeks to determine how variants may be properly delegated in the DNS Root Zone.
The Project is comprised of multiple parts, as follows:
Phase 1 — Individual Case Study Teams
Between July and October 2011, six teams studied six common scripts to identify issues specific to those scripts. The reports of these teams were published for public comments. The teams are now evaluating those comments to provide summary reports.

Phase 2 — Integrated Report
Between October 2011 and December 2011, an integrated team formed of representatives of the six individual teams will work on harmonizing the output of the six teams into a single report. The group is meeting weekly to develop an integrated report.
Phase 3
Work on Phase 3 will commence after Phase 2 concludes.
