Summary of Submission

BC welcomes the IDN EPDP Team’s consistency on the “Same Entity” and “Conservatism” principles. We are glad to learn that the “Same Entity” principle is expanded as “same registrant, same registrar” which we’ve proposed in our previous comment on the Phase 1 report. 

BC is however concerned that the IDN EPDP Team chose not to provide a clear recommendation to one key fundamental question in its draft report. The question is: Is an IDN.IDN variant domain a newly created, separated domain from its source IDN.IDNdomain? 

In our attached comment, the BC provides rationale and an answer that question, along with policy recommendations.
