For ease of reference, here they are once more: Relevant Recommendations from the PDP Protection of IGO and INGO Identifiers in All gTLDs: Recommendation 3.1.1: * Top-Level protections of Exact Match, Full Name Scope 1 identifiers of the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement are placed in the Applicant Guidebook section 2.2.1.2.3, Strings “Ineligible for Delegation”. Recommendation 3.1.2: * For Red Cross Red Crescent Movement identifiers, if placed in the Applicant Guidebook as ineligible for delegation at the Top-Level, an exception procedure should be created for cases where a protected organization wishes to apply for their protected string at the Top-Level. Recommendation 3.2.1: * Top-Level protections of Exact Match, Full Name Scope 1 identifiers of the International Olympic Committee are placed in the Applicant Guidebook section 2.2.1.2.3, Strings “Ineligible for Delegation”.

Could you please: 1. Provide the policy Recommendation language as adopted by the Board in relation to this issue, and 2. Clarify whether there is any relevant Board-created policy on IGO names being eligible for delegation, e.g. in response to GAC Advice. Apologies for a lack of familiarity with the specifics on the policy recommendations. (I'm guessing Chris Disspain may have a good deal more background.)
