    1. Regarding 14,15, and 17, this email was circulated to the team for review
      1. To help the team better understand IG 15, a diagram was created (Fig.1 below) for the team’s reference to better understand the relationship in a visual way.
      2. For Rec 14, a member of the registries posted this potential text in the chat:
        1. “To account for the "same entity" principle and its implications for variant domain names, gTLD registry operators should work with ICANN-accredited registrars to <add>determine a mechanism to communicate between each other to facilitate the registration and management of variant domain names</add> <remove>provide information on the allocated variant domain names for a given domain name</remove>, including an indication of the source domain name(s) and initial source domain name of the variant domain set. The grandfathered variant domain names pursuant to Final Recommendation 3 are exempt from this requirement.”
      3. ICANN gTLD Technical Services is currently reviewing this text and finding a technical solution to what is feasible for ICANN org to have a role with.
