>> This is a last-gasp attempt to get an “implementation” change to prevent singular and plural TLDs for the same string.  (car/cars, hotel/hotels )

>>  
>> 
>> This letter closely follows the BC’s approved 29-October letter to NGPC.   Therefore the Executive Committee has authorized an abbreviated review period of 7 days.

>> ICANN plans to delegate Singular and Plural forms of same string, despite GAC advice and community concerns. 
>> 
>> The BC sent a letter to ICANN CEO and Board on 22-Oct (link) with two requests:
>> 
>> We asked ICANN to publish any evidence considered by expert panels, arbitration providers, and ICANN staff in its evaluation of these decisions.
>> 
>> We asked ICANN to publish specific objective criteria to judge string similarity, and allow for an appeal system where applicants can challenge prior ICDR decisions on singular-plural TLDs based on this criteria.
>> 
>> We re-iterated those requests at the Public Forum in BA, asking if the Board shared the BC concerns.  NGPC member Mike Silber replied, "Yes, several of us are very concerned about this."
