[CPWG] [council] Interim Update on Mechanism(s) to Address Latin Diacritics / Additional Considerations Regarding Supplemental Recommendations 24.3A, 24.3B, and 24.3C (Singular/Plural)

Sat Apr 13 01:49:17 UTC 2024

All,

As reported by Andrew and Olivier at the CPWG call of 10 April regarding an
update on addressing the Latin Diacritics issue; and in particular, where
Olivier had verbally shared  with you on the call, my note to him about the
possibility of the ICANN Board not accepting the set of Supplemental
Recommendations 24.3A, 24.3B, and 24.3C to do with String Similarity,
please find below a further update from GNSO Support Staff to the GNSO
Council on this.

I'm happy to answer questions, if any, but only to the extent that answers
are available, since Council's discussion of this matter is currently
ongoing for consideration at its next meeting at 21:00 UTC on Thursday, 18
April 2024

Subject: [council] Additional Considerations Regarding Supplemental
Recommendations 24.3A, 24.3B, and 24.3C (Singular/Plural)
To: council at gnso.icann.org <council at gnso.icann.org>

Dear Councilors,

I have another update that the Council may want to factor into its plans
for considering Supplemental Recommendations 24.3A, 24.3B, and 24.3C.

The Board Caucus on New gTLD on Subsequent Procedures, with the assistance
of ICANN org, has looked into the feasibility of implementing Supplemental
Recommendations 24.3A, 24.3B, and 24.3C. Some concerns remain, so the
Caucus has worked with ICANN org to try and identify a potential approach
that would accomplish the intent of the recommendations (i.e., no
singulars/plurals of existing gTLDs in the same language and applied-for
singulars/plurals in the same language placed into a contention set) while
minimizing remaining concerns. The Caucus and org have identified an
approach that they believe can achieve the objective of the Supplemental
Recommendations.

While further work is needed to fully document the approach (note, the
approach will also need to be discussed with the full Board), my org
colleagues are working on first drafting a high-level overview of the
approach to be shared with the Council. If after considering the high-level
overview, the Council wishes to work further on the relevant Supplemental
Recommendations, I understand that the Caucus remains available and willing
to continue building upon the collaborative relationship it shares with the
Council.

Best,

Steve
