==DNS Stability Panel Reviews==

The DNS Stability Panel has already evaluated 46 strings for similarity. Twenty nine (29) countries and territories that requested [[IDN]] [[ccTLD]]s passed the string evaluation phase and 21 were already delegated to the [[DNS]] [[Root Zone|root zone]].<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/fast-track-review-2012-09apr12-en.htm Second Annual IDN ccTLD Fast Track Process Review]</ref> 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.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/icann-wont-say-who-rejected-bulgarian-idn/ ICANN won’t say who rejected Bulgarian IDN]</ref> 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.<ref>
