Based on your preferred level of review, what would be the string similarity review’s impact on preventing user confusion and security/stability issues in the DNS? In other words, how effective would string similarity review be in preventing delegation of similar
strings? <u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;margin-bottom:10pt;vertical-align:baseline">
Have you considered the feasibility of implementing the string similarity review based on your preferred level? For example, the complexity and costs involved to conduct the resulting review. <u></u><u></u></li></ol>
