Reviewing some of the recent Board resolutions, I noticed the following request which I don't think the GNSO Council has considered yet: 'the Board requests that the
GNSO
Council advise the Board by no later than 28 February 2013 if it is
aware of any concern such as with the global public interest or the
security or stability of the
DNS, that the Board should take into account in making its decision about whether to include second level protections for certain
IGO
names and acronyms by inclusion on a Reserved Names List in section
2.2.1.2.3 of the Applicant Guidebook, applicable in all new
gTLD registries approved in the first round of the New
gTLD Program. The specific
IGO
names to be protected shall be those names or acronyms that: 1) qualify
under the current existing criteria to register a domain name in the
.int
gTLD; and 2) have a registered .int domain OR a determination of eligibility under the .int criteria; and 3) apply to
ICANN
to be listed on the reserved names list for the second level prior to
the delegation of any new gTLDs by no later than 28 February 2013' (see
http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-new-gtld-26nov12-en.htm#1.b). You may want to consider how to handle this request.
