  15. Suggestions on Ensuring the Equivalency of Variant Forms of Chinese Characters • In Multilingual domain names, the traditional, simplified and variant forms of a Chinese character should be treated as one character, i.e. different forms (fonts) of a Chinese character should be treated equal during MDN registration and application processes, especially when resolving relevant disputes. • A uniform “Equivalent List” shall be set up to implement and regulate the equivalent function of different forms of certain Chinese characters, which is known as “Equivalent List for Traditional/ Simplified / Variant Forms of Chinese Characters” (“List” for short, same as below).

  16. Suggestions on Ensuring the Equivalency of Variant Forms of Chinese Characters • Any organizations or institutions that provide CDN registration, DN resolution and Disputes Resolution Services shall comply with the “List”. Domain name registries and registrars shall equally manage certain Chinese characters in accordance with the “List” when carrying out MDN registration, and establish a normative database for domain name registration.

  17. Suggestions on Ensuring the Equivalency of Variant Forms of Chinese Characters • Before launching the “List”, no domain name registration service provider shall officially provide Chinese Character contained MDN registration services. • The equivalent policy shall be incarnated and maintained in other Internet resource locating technologies and relative applications.

  18. CDNC’s Basic Attitude for IDN • CDNC regards the most appropriate way to solve IDN issues is: IDN policies need not be made in hurry. It should depend on the development status of each language. CDNC suggest IDN policies of certain language shall only be developed when the technical solution of this certain language has become mature and the language community has reached consensus.
