Work Track 5 recommends continuing to consider the following category a geographic name requiring government support at the top level. Applications for these strings must be accompanied by documentation of support or non-objection from the relevant governments or public authorities:
● An application for any string that is an exact match of a sub-national place name, such as a county, province, or state, listed in the ISO 3166-2 standard.
Our current draft response reads: The ALAC supports Preliminary Recommendation 12 for continuing the requirement that all applications for these strings be accompanied by documentation of support or non-objection from the relevant governments or public authorities without exception and irrespective of any statements of intended use of the string.
We have, on hand, one disagreement with this draft response.
