"How about the following: If the government entity withdraws their letter of support before the application deadline – such letter would be illegible to support the application?
We have such provision in the AGB for later stages of the geo gTLD life cycle – just not for the application phase. That would work, too."
This has the same problem as my suggestion. It still requires a second government action. What if the application process required the applicant, at the time of submission, to
attest that there have been no material changes that would compromise the letter of support?
If there were none, we'll and good. If there were changes, the applicant would have compromised their application with a false submission. There could be a grey area here, but
when are there not risks of grey areas.
Just a thought.
