process as at the moment an undelegated TLD would go to EBERO and all the variants would also be undelegated. If the team is of the view that it should be possible to only undelegated one variant TLD, that would need to be a broader discussion and decision

is indeed transitional even though there are certain elements that come into play. It is similar in the ccTLD space as there are also two steps (string evaluation and delegation). String evaluation is here considered similar to allocation in a gTLD context
and is a significant milestone. Need to consider that this framework is designed for both ccTLDs and gTLDs. Delegation could happen several years later and not immediate.

If you think this is useful, team could include implementation guidance to update the tool accordingly. TLD entity information is already available in IANA Whois. Maybe this could be included in the catch all question for the EPDP Team to address?
