Hi, Revisiting this thread again one more time. The NGPC resolution referred to in the reconsideration request was dated February 2014, not February 2015. I misread that in the reconsideration request submitted by Brice Trail, LLC. So the actual resolution by the ICANN board (or actually, the NGPC on behalf of the board) on .doctor can be found here: https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-new-gtld-2014-02-05-en …, as well as an annex to the resolution with more details found here: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/resolutions-new-gtld-annex-1-05feb14-en.pdf I hope this helps clear up the confusion I had a hand in creating. ICANN policy staff was very helpful in correcting me on this. Thanks Mary. Thanks, and my apologies.

From what I can tell there was a discussion on the topic of “Category 1 Safeguards for Highly Regulated Strings” on the February 5th meeting of the New gTLD Program Committee (NGPC) of the ICANN Board. It looks like there was no resolution taken during that meeting (https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-new-gtld-2015-02-05-en). >> >> However, there was a reference to that meeting in another meeting that took place on February 12th, in which the NGPC seemed to agree on “staff to continue to move forward with implementation of its 5 February 2014 resolution on the matter”.
