<p class="MsoNormal">At the end of today’s discussion we talked about whether to allow 2 character Latin Script applications given that 2 character ASCII characters are all reserved for ccTLDs. In line with that, I believe this group should adopt a similar
recommendation as was adopted by SubPro for Single Characters, namely:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Recommendation 25.4: Single character gTLDs [170] may be allowed for limited script/language combinations where a character is an ideograph (or ideogram) and do not introduce confusion risks that rise above commonplace similarities, consistent
with SSAC171 [171] and Joint ccNSO-GNSO IDN Workgroup (JIG) [172] reports.<o:p></o:p></p>
