5. Singular and Plural Versions of the Same String
The GAC reiterates the Beijing advice that allowing singular and plural versions of the same strings could lead to consumer harm. Permitting this practice risks confusing internet users and could making users more vulnerable to deceptive practices that exploit this confusion.

Scorecard Response:
The NGPC acknowledges the GAC’s reiteration of its advice in the Beijing Communiqué, which advised the Board to reconsider its decision to allow singular and plural versions of the same strings. The NGPC adopted a resolution to accept this advice at its 4 June 2013 meeting, and on 25 June 2013, the NGPC considered whether to allow singular and plural versions of the
same string. The NGPC adopted a resolution resolving that no changes were needed to the existing mechanisms in the Applicant Guidebook to address potential consumer confusion resulting from allowing
singular and plural versions of the same string <https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-new-gtld-2013-06-25-en#/2.d>.
The NGPC notes that this topic may be of further discussion by the community is it considers future rounds of the New gTLD Program.
