Dear Emily
Thanks for the useful slides.
One question/suggestion which comes to my mind: there is a geographic names review as part of the initial evaluation, i.e. when the applicant already has
made significant investments. What if, in addition to that review, the geographic names panel would also be available on an advisory basis during the application preparation phase? It could advise on hard/unclear cases and also on names with geographic significance
not covered by the specific geonames categories/lists included in the AGB 2012, as well as help in identifying relevant public authorities (with help from ICANN Org and GAC Members if needed)…
Probably this would avoid a lot of headaches and unexpected issues when the application is already further down the road, and would allow for early contact
with the relevant public authorities…
Hope this helps
Jorge
