Re: [ga] potential IDN confusion issue with Greek language domains
It appears the people at CENTR are aware of the accent issue with Greek IDNs, see: www.centr.org/docs/2003/06/centr-ga18-davies-idn.pdf This brings up the obvious question(s): What is to be done now that the IDNs are live? Will there be a recall of some kind? What happens to everyone who already registered Greek IDNs if there is? Seems to me, this has all the makings of a really fine mess...

It is currently possible to register IDN domains in Greek with AND without the applicable accents, such that two separate registrations for the same word can exist, albeit one lacks the applicable accent marking(s). I believe this can lead to a very real and serious confusion issue. -- This email includes a valid digital signature which positively distinguishes the sender and serves to ensure that the message has not been altered since it was sent.
