In the DNS, two variants are ''distinct'' domain names. It is users of specific communities who see variants as equivalent, but they are actually different. The issue is that they need to be transferred and grouped together, and there is no protocol solution. AN IDN and its variants must be treated as a single package from a domain provisioning and life cycle management perspective, which is a policy issue.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/sac-120-en.pdf SAC120, ICANN Files]</ref> Questions include should the variants be delegated and the balancing of usability and security. | In the DNS, two variants are ''distinct'' domain names.
