DNS Stability Panel is responsible in reviewing the proposed new gTLD strings from each applicant to ensure that it will not harm the security and stability of the internet. The panel performs the evaluation during DNS stability string review initial evaluation.[1]
The Interisle Consulting Group was selected by the ICANN Board for the DNS Stability Panel and to provide registry services for new gTLDs on November 2011.[2] [3] In 2009, the company was also selected by ICANN to perform technical string requirement evaluations for requested IDN ccTLDs under the IDN ccTLD Fast Track Process.[4] Under the IDN ccTLD Fastrack Process the panel will review strings for confusability with the existing ISO-3166-1 two-letter codes, existing TLDs and other requested TLDs as well as with proposed gTLDs under the new gTLD program.[5]
DNS Stability Panel Reviews
The DNS Stability Panel has already evaluated 46 strings for similarity. Twenty nine (29) countries and territories that requested IDN ccTLDs passed the string evaluation phase and 21 were already delegated to the DNS root zone.[6] Two IDN ccTLDs were rejected by the DNS Stability. First was the Bulgarian request for the .бг IDN ccTLD, which was confusingly similar to the .br ccTLD for Brazil.[7] The second IDN ccTLD that was rejected by the panel was the .ελ which is supposed to be the IDN ccTLD counterpart of .gr for Greece. The panel did not approve .ελ because it confusingly similar to the latin string .EA, a non-existent TLD.[8]
