Which strings are compared in the String Similarity Evaluation?

Each applied-for primary string, along with all of its allocatable and blocked variant strings, is compared against:

• Existing delegated gTLDs and their variant strings.
• Applied-for gTLD strings from the current application round and previous rounds that are still in the process, and their variant strings.
• Existing successfully evaluated or delegated ccTLDs and their variant strings.
• Strings requested as IDN ccTLDs.
• Certain Blocked Names and their variant strings.
• All two-character ASCII strings and their variant strings.
