List of possible approaches for Red Cross/IOC
names in new gTLDS
In response to the
request during the last RC/IOC DT call, please
find below a list of possible approaches that
have been proposed to date for moving forward
in responding to the GAC proposal to protect
the RCRC and IOC names at the second level in
new gTLDS:
- Maintain
the status quo and not provide any new
special protections for the RCRC/IOC names
(i.e., no changes to the current schedule
of second-level reserved names in the new
gTLD Registry Agreement).
- Develop
recommendations to implement the GAC
proposal such as extending protection to
all or a subset of RCRC names only, all or
a subset of IOC names only or, to both
sets of each organization’s names.
- Consider
the proposal to not provide any new
protections now and wait to see if any
additional protections may be necessary
after the delegation of the first round
new gTLD strings and/or consider lowering
costs for each organization to utilize
RPMs ( i.e., Thomas Rickert’s proposal)
- Consider
possible additional protections for the
RCRC/IOC as part of a broader PDP on the
protection of names for international
organizations
- Ask
ICANN General Counsel’s office to conduct
a legal analysis to substantiate/verify
whether there is clear evidence of treaty
law and/or statutes that would require
registries and registrars to protect IOC
and RCRC names by law.
Please let us know if you have any questions
or need anything further at this time.
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Brian
