LOS ANGELES - The Generic Names Supporting Organization Council of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers is seeking public comment on the initial report of the Latin Script Diacritics Policy Development Process Working Group, a press release stated by ICANN.

This initial report contains 54 preliminary recommendations and implementation guidance items. These recommendations and items were created by examining the circumstance where a base American Standard Code for Information Interchange generic top-level domain (gTLD) and the Latin script diacritic version of the gTLD are not variants of each other. The Policy Development Process seeks to establish an appropriate mechanism that allows a single registry operator to simultaneously operate both gTLDs.
