> The role of the String Similarity Panel is to assess whether a  
> proposed gTLD string creates a probability of user confusion due to  
> similarity with any reserved name, any existing TLD, any requested  
> IDN ccTLD, or any new gTLD string applied for in the current  
> application round.
>
> Per the Applicant Guidebook, a contention set is a group of two or  
> more applications containing identical or visually similar applied- 
> for gTLD strings. For more information on string contention  
> procedures, please refer to Module 4 [PDF, 428 KB] of the Applicant  
> Guidebook.
