Dear Sarmad,<br>
I can't even imagine having to grapple with these difficulties, or
resolve these issues. It makes even the proxy/privacy issues look
easy!<br>
Best,<br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>You are kind, but we do not deserve the credit for IDN VIP
(variant issues project). If anything, variants are going to
make it much harder for WHOIS implementation for IDNs. Consider
answering the question on whether a variant of a TLD should have
an independent WHOIS entry or should point to the WHOIS info of
the base label? Would such a entry be same for allocated,
delegated and blocked variants? Etc. Very interesting
challenges, yet to be resolved. But first let us get the IDN
WHOIS working, will worry about the WHOIS for variants in phase
2 ;-)</div>

Compliance recommendations created changes before our
final report, so too the IDN recommendations may be
spurring faster and more responsive action.

<td><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>
