TLD registries should also consider policies for visually confusable characters within a same script. Nevertheless, it is important to understand that not all visual confusing similarity issues can be addressed by IDN tables, LGRs and policies. Other policies such as dispute resolution policies may be necessary to mitigate against abusive registrations exploiting visually similar characters. For example, even for Latin LDH repertoire, whereas the digit "0" and letter "O", or the capital letter "I", small letter "l" and digit "1", may be considered visually confusable characters the mitigation policy for abuse is often addressed by dispute resolution policies, leveraging other bodies of knowledge (e.g. Trademark Law) to evaluate whether similarities between names causes confusion and abuse.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN-CA style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>======================================================<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN-CA>Also, my apologies, I will not be able to join the call today.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN-CA>Edmon<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN-CA style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN-CA style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN-CA style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN-CA style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN-CA style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-left:solid blue 1.5pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 4.0pt'><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><b>From:</b> <a href="mailto:idngwg-bounces@icann.org">idngwg-bounces@icann.org</a> [<a href="mailto:idngwg-bounces@icann.org">mailto:idngwg-bounces@icann.org</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Sarmad Hussain<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, 1 February 2017 01:28 AM<br><b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:idngwg@icann.org">idngwg@icann.org</a><br><b>Subject:</b> [Idngwg] Summary of meeting on 26 Jan. 2017<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Dear All, <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Please find attached the summary of the meeting of the WG on 26 Jan.
