16 Describe the applicant's efforts to ensure that there are no known operational or rendering problems concerning the applied-for gTLD string

Prototypical answer:

The dotبازار (dotbazar) Registry (and CORE Internet Council of Registrars as its technical provider) ensured that there are no known operational or rendering problems concerning the applied-for gTLD string ʺبازارʺ.

Since the applied-for gTLD string uses a right-to-left script, potential rendering issues with names on the second level may occur, as described at http:⁄⁄stupid.domain.name⁄node⁄683. However, the problem does not occur in the context of بازار. (.bazar), since registry policy mandates that on the second level, only right-to-left letters are allowed. Moreover, the TLD string does not contain digits, and second level domain name labels are not allowed to have digits at the first position.

Moreover, the gTLD string exclusively uses characters from a single alphabet, does not contain digits or hyphens, and it contains characters that are not subject to homograph issues, which means there is no potential for confusion with regard to the rendering of other TLD strings.

Finally, CORE Internet Council of Registrars set up a testing environment for the بازار. (.bazar) TLD using the CORE Registration System, including an EPP SRS, Whois and DNS servers, in order to conduct a series of tests involving typical use cases (like web site operation and e-mail messaging) for a TLD. The tests revealed no operational or rendering issues with any popular software (web browsers, e-mail clients) or operating systems.
