<span style="color:black">For preparing these guidelines, we are planning to publish a report for public comment on 7 Feb. 2023. This report provides details of relevant factors to consider for string similarity review and a two-step process to cater to potentially
a large number of comparisons in the string similarity review due to variant strings along with the applied-for strings.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<span style="color:black">If the community agrees with this approach, we will conduct Phase 2 of this work, where we will finalize the guidelines, along with the data and tools being suggested at this time. We also intend to publish Phase 2 work for public
