What is the synchronized process intending to solve?
The implementation plan for synchronized IDN ccTLDs is intended to provide a procedure by which a very limited number of variants of IDN ccTLDs can become eligible to initiate the String Delegation step in the IDN Fast Track Process. A full description of the IDN ccTLD Fast Track process can be found at http://www.icann.org/en/topics/idn/fast-track/. These are referred to as synchronized IDN ccTLDs and are allowed to continue to the String Delegation step in the Fast Track Process following the satisfaction of certain synchronization criteria and evaluations thereof. Introduction of synchronized IDN ccTLDs are not possible in the Fast Track Process as it stands today. The synchronized IDN ccTLD requirements must be successfully met in the evaluation process based on information provided by the requester before the Fast Track String Delegation step can be initiated. Such information must include a demonstration that a problem is solved in the community that the synchronized IDN ccTLDs w
