Subsequent procedures and Geo names
Hi All Nice to see you all this evening on the workshop 😊 I was reminded that I’d promised to circulate a draft comment on the new gTLDs final report, especially to support the geo names recommendations (in essence to preserve 2 letter for ccTLDs and to ensure that the 3166 alpha 3 codes can’t become gTLDs) So to update you all, there isn’t really a comment as such, you just have to submit a google doc to confirm you agree. I’ve done that in draft to confirm that the ccNSO council agrees with the geo names and some of the other details which are essentially no change, but expressed no opinion on the more controversial areas (such as closed generics). Hope that is all ok. The deadline is cob tomorrow so just shout any issues as per our last call otherwise I will submit our support.

Hi Nick, Thanks for this update and your work. I would like to see a ccNSO statement about the failure to reach a common approach when it comes to the evaluation of “possibly confusing similarity” in the TLD space, including any new TLD round. I think it is of paramount importance to highlight – once more – the fact that within the ccTLD environment “confusing similarity” assessments are very strict while in the gTLD space they are very soft.

Hi Nick,
Thanks for this update and your work.
I would like to see a ccNSO statement about the failure to reach a common approach when it comes to the evaluation of “possibly confusing similarity” in the TLD space, including any new TLD round. I think it is of paramount importance to highlight – once more – the fact that within the ccTLD environment “confusing similarity” assessments are very strict while in the gTLD space they are very soft.
Best,

Hi All
Nice to see you all this evening on the workshop 😊
I was reminded that I’d promised to circulate a draft comment on the new gTLDs final report, especially to support the geo names recommendations (in essence to preserve 2 letter for ccTLDs and to ensure that the 3166 alpha 3 codes can’t become gTLDs)
So to update you all, there isn’t really a comment as such, you just have to submit a google doc to confirm you agree.
I’ve done that in draft to confirm that the ccNSO council agrees with the geo names and some of the other details which are essentially no change, but expressed no opinion on the more controversial areas (such as closed generics).
Hope that is all ok.
The deadline is cob tomorrow so just shout any issues as per our last call otherwise I will submit our support.
Best wishes
Nick

Submitted, a very long google form!
Actually as Peter vR commented I just had to agree with the report as concerning reserved geo names, and express no opinion on most of the rest of it.
The only comment added was in relation to the differing string similarity standards.
Best wishes
Nick

Hi Nick,
Thanks for this update and your work.
I would like to see a ccNSO statement about the failure to reach a common approach when it comes to the evaluation of “possibly confusing similarity” in the TLD space, including any new TLD round. I think it is of paramount importance to highlight – once more – the fact that within the ccTLD environment “confusing similarity” assessments are very strict while in the gTLD space they are very soft.
Best,
Giovanni

Hi All
Nice to see you all this evening on the workshop 😊
I was reminded that I’d promised to circulate a draft comment on the new gTLDs final report, especially to support the geo names recommendations (in essence to preserve 2 letter for ccTLDs and to ensure that the 3166 alpha 3 codes can’t become gTLDs)
So to update you all, there isn’t really a comment as such, you just have to submit a google doc to confirm you agree.
I’ve done that in draft to confirm that the ccNSO council agrees with the geo names and some of the other details which are essentially no change, but expressed no opinion on the more controversial areas (such as closed generics).
Hope that is all ok.
