After publication of the IDN Variant Issues Project Plan, along with a call for volunteers, six script case study teams were formed (Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Devanagari, Greek, and Latin) and work commenced shortly thereafter.
The case study teams comprised a total of 66 experts from 29 countries and territories, and offered expertise in the areas of DNS, IDNA, linguistics, security & scalability, policy, registry/registrar operations, and community representation.
The six case studies, investigated any issues relevant to individual scripts that need to be resolved to facilitate a good user experience for IDN variant TLDs.
The reports were posted for public comment in October 2011. Summary and analysis of comments submitted for each case study report can be found on the ICANN website at: http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/2011 - nov
