| SSAC Advisory on Delegation of Single-Character Internationalized Domain Name Top-Level Domains (R2) | SAC052 | CLOSED |
Description:
Because important relevant work on string similarity, IDN variant issues, and TLD label syntax is currently underway within ICANN, the IETF, and other bodies, ICANN should review the Findings of this report, and any policies that it adopts in response to Recommendation 1, no later than one year after the three work items mentioned above have been completed.
STATUS UPDATES
| Date | Phase | Type | Status Updates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Closed | Phase Change | This Advice Item is now Closed |
| Phase 5 | Board Update | This item has been processed as much as is relevant and is considered complete; no work is outstanding from the perspective of Board Advice (note that related implementation work may have been integrated into ICANN’s ongoing operations or other initiatives). Status provided in 19 October 2016 letter from ICANN Board Chair to SSAC Chair (https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/crocker-to-faltstrom-19oct16-en.pdf). Considerable work has been performed or is ongoing relating to IDNs and IDN variants. Some of this work can be found on the Internationalized Domain Names page of the ICANN website: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/idn-2012-02-25-en. A String Similarity study was proposed as part of the Root Zone Label Generation Rules (Project 5), but this project was deprioritized based on public comment, and the work suggested by this recommendation will not be undertaken. |
