[governance] Hi norbert,nance] ICANN declined Bulgarian IDN fast-track

[Avri Doria]

what is said was the only thing it could possibly be confused with is <.6r>. and since that can't never be a TLD. then there is no confusing similarity.

on the subject of a cyrillic eye, i am not sure that only cyrillic eyes are to be considered in the consideration of confusion.

sorry is i was confusing.
