[Gnso-epdp-idn-team] String Similarity Review Hybrid Model - Input Requested

[Tomslin Samme-Nlar]

Thanks for sharing Farell. Much appreciated!
Actually, @Akinremi Peter Taiwo <compsoftnet at gmail.com> and @Emmanuel Vitus
<emmanuelvitus at gmail.com> are the current members on IDNs EPDP as the
meeting time was no longer sustainable for me. I remained only as an
observer.

But to the substance, I think the proposal of the small group is a
practical one and backed by fact. Their findings as demonstrated in the
document you attached clearly shows that there is a real possibility to
miss confusable strings if the applied for TLD was not compared against (a)
its blocked variants (b) existing TLDs and their allocatable and blocked
variants (c) other applied for TLDs and their allocatable and blocked
variants.
A blocked variant of the request for TLD cannot be allocated, therefore I
agree with the group's recommendation that it should not be used to compare
against blocked variants of other TLDs. Only applied for and allocatable
strings should be used.

I look forward to comments from the rest of the group.

Warmly,
Tomslin
