vn Comments
By Le Thi Ngoc Mo, Deputy Director General of Vietnam Telecommunications Authority (VNTA), Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC)
Dear ICANN,
“vn” is the country code for Viet Nam. The release of the two-character ".vn" label at the second-level under new gTLDs would create confusion with the ccTLD ".vn". On behalf of Viet Nam government, I would like to submit an objection to the release of the “.vn” at the second level under all new gTLDs.
Viet Nam is seting up the accurate criteria for releasing this two character at the second level domain names under new gTLDs . This is sensitive issue for government so it is taking some time for government to consider.
To reiterate, our objections are applied to all new gTLDs who have requested or will be requesting for the release of “.vn” at the second level until we set up the accurate criteria for releasing and send notice to ICANN.
Thank you and best regards,
