Dear all, I share Annebeth's concerns. - The clear distinction between ccTLDs and gTLDs, based on TLD length, is lost, once opening up 2-letters as gTLDs. This will increase the end-user confusion. After all, the legal frameworks governing ccTLDs and gTLDs are different. - having a 2-character gTLD assigned, which might correspond to the 2-letter code of a potential future country, will disadvantage said country Best regards.

I have added another argument under option 3 to hightlight the risks opening up for 2-letters for gTLDs. I understand that these brand owners would like to have their brand as domain name, but in my view this will ruin the system with the distinction between ccTLDs and gTLDs and discriminate possible new countries in the future.

Option 3 is an interesting one. I've added a couple of risks to it as I think there is a risk of consumer confusion and brand overlapping. Attached previous (Grigori+Colin) doc + my edits. Thanks jordi El 01/06/15 a les 21:04, Colin O'Brien ha escrit: Hello all, I have added an additional option to Grigori's document. I feel there should be an option that allows the owners of 2 character trademarks to operate closed brand registries as long as there is no conflict with ISO 3166-1.
