My impression is that the existing (and proposed) ICANN mechanisms to deal with "confusingly similar" in TLD strings (in particular in the new gTLD program) are too weak and do probably have not the needed expertise. With other words, the IGC letter should include also the proposal to enhance the mechanisms to deal with such potential conflicts. 

Definitely it goes way beyond the Bulgarian case. The Bulgarian case is bad news, because it was allowed to remain in this state for such a long time.

But we need to remember the fate of the recent ccNSO working group, that was charged with the task to produce guidelines how cases such as the BG, GR and EU IDN applications should be handled by ICANN… and ended up reporting with a resolution of only the EU case (the youngest one, and perhaps the most political one as well)
