Section 3.3 of the IDN Implementation Working Team Final Report for reference:
3.3 Proposal for management at the top-level of both Type 1 and Type 2 Variants
1. In addition to the Base IDN TLD Label, a TLD applicant may identify a number of Variant Labels.
2. The applicant must classify each Variant Labels as 'Desired' or 'undesired'.
3. Desired Variant Labels will be allocated, and may also be delegated, to the applicant.
4. Undesired Variant Labels will neither be allocated nor delegated, but will be blocked.
5. Desired Variant Labels may be delegated to the (same) applicant provided the following conditions are met:
A. The applicant requests the Variant Label.
B. The domains directly below the variant TLD are to be mapped exactly to the corresponding domains
under the Base TLD.
C. The applicant must demonstrate how this mapping is to be achieved, preferably by presenting earlier
work on a testbed.
D. The applicant must provide information on how it intends to inform its registrars/resellers/registrants
about the correct set-up of name servers, and all other application servers that process domain names
directly, so that end-user confusion can ideally be prevented, and at least held to an acceptable minimum.
(This is discussed in further detail in Annex 3.)
E. ICANN shall conduct periodic checks to ensure that the said mapping is in place.
F. The delegation document for the Base IDN TLD Label (whatever form it takes: contract, MoU,
accountability framework, ...) will commit the registry to the points above.
6. It is understood that that technical or other considerations may necessitate changes in the items under 5 above.
