ICANN: IDN Spoofing Concerns
Domain name spoofing works by exploiting the visual resemblance, or near-
resemblance, of certain characters and symbols. ICANN is concerned about the
potential exacerbation of domain name spoofing as IDNs become more
widespread, and is equally concerned about the implementation of
countermeasures that may unnecessarily restrict the use and availability of
IDNs. ICANN’s public comment forum on this topic is available here.
