[governance] Is really Bulgarian Cyrillic .?? (.bg) similar to other Latin ccTLDs?

[Adam Peake]

Tina, hi.

Have to admit to a very weak understanding of 
IDN, character sets, codes, etc.  And as you 
noticed I didn't think particularly hard about my 
note before sending, if I had I wouldn't have 
mentioned third level :-)

I can't tell the difference.

I'm guessing (a technically ignorant guess) that 
for a Bulgarian IDN ccTLD, registrars should be 
able to recognize if the string someone was 
trying to register was Cyrillic or not.  So, for 
example, anything that contained ascii could 
automatically be rejected.  Not correct? Not eyes 
that recognize, but software.

So I am guessing it would be possible to ensure 
no ascii string could be registered under IDN 
.BG, and if that were so then the chance of 
having a confusing string under either .BR or IDN 
.BG would be remote.

Best,

Adam
