[Rt4-whois] Fwd: ICANN News Alert -- IDN Variant TLD Program - Revised Program Plan

[Kathy Kleiman]

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

>     *Purpose (Brief):* 	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.
