As required by the RSEP, ICANN has undertaken a preliminary determination on whether these RSEP proposals might raise significant competition, security or stability issues. ICANN's preliminary review (based on the information provided) did not identify any such issues. Following ICANN's preliminary determination that the proposals do not raise significant competition, security or stability issues, it was further determined that the change would require a material change to the respective Registry Agreements and that an amendment is needed in order to effect the change. The proposed amendments, which are being posted for comment, would allow the registration of country and territory names at all levels in .PIONEER, .FUJITSU, .OBI, .SHARP, .TOYOTA, and .LEXUS. It should be noted that Specification 13 has been granted for .PIONEER on 16 July 2015, .FUJITSU on 30 July 2015, .OBI on 25 September 2014, .SHARP on 03 September 2015, and .TOYOTA and .LEXUS on 23 April 2015.
