[governance] ICANN declined Bulgarian IDN fast-track

[Norbert Klein]

Hi Avri,

I am not sure if you are a victim of "confusingly similar" or if you are
sarcastic: the Bulgarian .бг string is not starting with the leading
number 6, but with a Bulgarian the "б" [which will be displayed
correctly on your screen only if you have the facility to display Kyrillic].

Whoever looks with a "Bulgarian eye" at these characters, will not
confuse a 6 or a b with a б.

Hi Milton, you said:

"Nice to see the tide of opinion turning against the .6r decision."

Who decided .6r? The Bulgarians want the .бг string. Different.
