Public Comment is a vital part of our multistakeholder model. It provides a mechanism for stakeholders to have their opinions and recommendations formally and publicly documented. It is an opportunity for the ICANN community to effect change and improve policies and operations.

In our Mar-2024 comment on this topic, the BC said that "cross-community consultation should help evaluate whether the current objection process is sufficient." We still believe ICANN Org should seek community consultation on this issue. At the very least, ICANN Org should arrange for the CJK GPs to sit together and develop a prohibitive list and/or reach consensus regarding strings that may be confused with geographic names.
At this point, we ask ICANN Org why it seeks further community comment, since Org now says that “no further analysis is required”.
The BC does not believe the string similarity review or the community objection process are sufficient in confusions related to geographic names.
The BC also believes that SSAC’s SAC052 advisory from 2012 might be overcome by events, and SSAC should be asked for updated advice regarding single-character IDNs.
