Working Group on Equivalent Strings Support
Members:
Dennis Jennings, Chair; Harald Alvestrand; Rod Beckstrom; Steve Crocker; Rita Rodin Johnston; Ram Mohan; Thomas Narten; Jean-Jacques Subrenat and Suzanne Woolf
Background:
The Board established an Equivalent Strings Working Group (ES-WG) to review the issues relating to instances in the Fast Track Process where more than one official language or script exists within a country/territory, and where requests are for multiple corresponding strings that are considered equivalent, so that users of the community accessing domains under all versions of the string can expect that each of them will resolve to the same address.
The Board dissolved the Working Group on Equivalent Strings Support on 10 December 2010. http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-10dec10-en.htm#5.
