FYI - As the Compliance recommendations created changes before our
final report, so too the IDN recommendations may be spurring faster
and more responsive action. Congratulations to Sarmad, Michael and

<td class="light"><strong>Purpose (Brief):</strong></td>
<td colspan="3">The purpose of this project is to resolve
many of the issues necessary to delegate variant TLDs.
The first IDN Variant Issues Project explored the issues
associated with the potential inclusion of IDN variant
TLDs in the DNS root zone, at the request of the ICANN
Board and the community. The first two phases of the
project have been completed with the publication of the
final Integrated Issues Report on 20 February 2012 and
the project is now entering its next phase. ICANN
created a program plan for next steps, posted it for
public comment, and presented it in a session at the
ICANN meeting in Costa Rica in March 2012. Based on the
comments received to date, the project plan has been
updated, and the team is seeking input on the revised
plan during this public comment period.</td>
