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

Hi all,
Thanks for all the comments. 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.
Kind regards,
Annebeth

Hi and apologies for not being able to join the last conference.
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

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.
Cordially,
Colin

Dear all,
Apologies for the late email, but due to a number of scheduling issues
we will cancel next week’s call. Instead we will resume our calls on
Monday 8 June at 20:00 UTC (local times
A detailed agenda will follow.
This also means, that there will be more time for participants to send
back their views on the 2-letter code options. I have attached all
documents received so far. In time for the next meeting I will send out
a collated document.
Please note, if you send a document please feel free to post directly to
the list, I will collate it from there.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Lars
