Committee on the Draft Final Report of the ICANN
Internationalized Data Working Group
However, due to the pending introduction of IDNs as part of the implementation of the
Generic Top Level Domain (gTLD) Program, the Internet community needs prompt and final
answers to these important questions.

Draft Final Report of the ICANN Internationalized
Registration Data Working Group
21 IRD-WG members discussed query and display of IDN variants labels in the context of WHOIS. They noted that
it is outside the scope of the IRD-WG to define variants or discuss how different languages handle variants.
However, the IRD-WG members agree that a WHOIS service query of IDNs variant labels delegated into the DNS
should return the domain of which it is a variant in its response, as well as an indication that the label queried is a
variant of the original domain. The IRD-WG members agree that this should be consistent across Whois services.
The IRD-WG members also agree that defining a Whois service query of a reserved or blocked variant returns is a
matter of local policy.
