Amazon Registry Services, Inc. (“ARSI”), the Registry Operator for the .Brand TLDs .AUDIBLE, .AWS, .FIRE, .IMDB, .KINDLE, .PRIME, .SILK, and .ZAPPOS (collectively, “the .Brand TLDs”) proposes release of the following 2-character letter-letter combinations: : ai, bh, bm, ci, cn, eg, il, in, io, it, kr, ky, me, ms, pt, ru, sg, sh, su, tc, or tw.

ARSI has executed Specification 13 to the Registry Agreement for each of the .Brand TLDs. Specification 13 contractually requires ARSI to apply measures which, in and of themselves, avoid confusion with the country codes corresponding to the 2-character letter-letter combinations listed above, namely:

1. Each of the .Brand TLDs is identical to a qualifying registered trademark;
2. Each of the .Brand TLDs is not a Generic String, as this is defined in Specification 11;
3. ARSI has developed and will implement a registration policy for each of the .Brand TLDs that requires all domain names in each such TLD be registered only by ARSI, its Affiliates, or Trademark Licensees of ARSI or its Affiliates;
4. ARSI will publish the registration policy for each of the .Brand TLDs upon delegation; and
5. ARSI has ensured, and will continue to ensure, its compliance with the registration policy through annual certification of qualification for Specification 13 for each of the .Brand TLDs.

Compliance with Specification 13 clearly designates to the public that the .Brand TLDs are proprietary spaces in which ARSI, its Affiliates, or Trademark Licensees of ARSI or its Affiliates use all second-level domain names. Accordingly, there will be no basis on which a letter-letter domain name registered in any of the .Brand TLDs could be confused with the country codes corresponding to the 2-character letter-letter combinations listed above.

(“ARSI”), the Registry Operator for the .Brand TLDs .AUDIBLE, .AWS, .FIRE, .IMDB, .KINDLE, .PRIME, .SILK, and .ZAPPOS (collectively, “the .Brand TLDs”) proposes release of the following 2-character letter-letter combinations: : ai, bh, bm, ci, cn, eg, il, in, io, it, kr, ky, me, ms, pt, ru, sg, sh, su, tc, or tw.

ARSI has executed Specification 13 to the Registry Agreement for each of the .Brand TLDs. Specification 13 contractually requires ARSI to apply measures which, in and of themselves, avoid confusion with the country codes corresponding to the 2-character letter-letter combinations listed above, namely:

1. Each of the .Brand TLDs is identical to a qualifying registered trademark;
2. Each of the .Brand TLDs is not a Generic String, as this is defined in Specification 11;
3. ARSI has developed and will implement a registration policy for each of the .Brand TLDs that requires all domain names in each such TLD be registered only by ARSI, its Affiliates, or Trademark Licensees of ARSI or its Affiliates;
4. ARSI will publish the registration policy for each of the .Brand TLDs upon delegation; and
5. ARSI has ensured, and will continue to ensure, its compliance with the registration policy through annual certification of qualification for Specification 13 for each of the .Brand TLDs.

Compliance with Specification 13 clearly designates to the public that the .Brand TLDs are proprietary spaces in which ARSI, its Affiliates, or Trademark Licensees of ARSI or its Affiliates use all second-level domain names. Accordingly, there will be no basis on which a letter-letter domain name registered in any of the .Brand TLDs could be confused with the country codes corresponding to the 2-character letter-letter combinations listed above.

Amazon Registry Services, Inc. (“ARSI”), the Registry Operator for the TLDs listed above (“the TLDs”), proposes release of the following 2-character letter-letter combinations: ai, bh, bm, ci, cn, eg, il, in, io, it, kr, ky, me, ms, pt, ru, sg, sh, su, tc, and tw. ARSI further proposes the following measures to avoid confusion with the corresponding country codes.

ARSI will commit to:
1. Investigate in a timely manner a report by the government of the country, state, or territory for which a 2-character letter-letter combination listed above (ai, bh, bm, ci, cn, eg, il, in, io, it, kr, ky, me, ms, pt, ru, sg, sh, su, tc, or tw) corresponds to its country code, that:
a. the use in any of the TLDs of a domain name consisting of a 2-character letter-letter combination listed above; and
b. corresponds to that government’s country code; and
c. implies or represents that it is, or has the approval of, such government; and
2. Where, in ARSI’s sole opinion, such use has occurred, ARSI, in its sole discretion:
a. will seek to work indirectly with the sponsoring registrar and/or directly with the registrant to address such use, or
b. may cause the domain name’s records to be removed from the DNS; and
3. Provide a written response within a commercially reasonable time period.

ARSI’s Acceptable Use Policy for the TLDs will require registrants of a domain name in each of the TLDs to ensure that their use of a 2-character letter-letter combination does not imply or represent that it is, or has the approval of, any government. ARSI will reserve the right to cancel, lock, place on hold, transfer or delete the domain name in accordance with our commitment above.

About .YOKOHAMA

.YOKOHAMA is a GeoTLD for the city of Yokohama, Japan, operated by GMO Registry, Inc. The purpose of .YOKOHAMA is to promote .YOKOHAMA and provide an opportunity for citizens, businesses and community groups to link their identities to the city’s brand. By bringing together quality and informative content, .YOKOHAMA provides a platform to effectively deliver city information to Internet users both locally and globally. It is also an important goal for the Registry that .YOKOHAMA is operated as a trusted, safe, secure, relevant and enjoyable namespace

Protections
Registry Operator understands the concern that confusion may arise, and in order to mitigate such concern is willing to offer the following:
1. Registry Operator will commit to:
a. investigate any reports of misuse, including misleading or deceptive conduct, including those from the governments of a related country-code and provide a written report in response; and
b. where, in Registry Operator’s sole opinion, misuse has occurred, cause the domain name’s records to be removed from the DNS.
Furthermore, contained within our Domain Name Registration Policy for the .YOKOHAMA TLD is the following text:

All Applicants, all Domain Name Registrants, and any party submitting a Domain Name registration request represents and warrants that:
− to its knowledge, the registration of the Domain Name mentioned in the Application
or Domain Name Registration Request will not infringe upon or otherwise violate the
rights of any third party;
− will not register a domain name for the purpose of distributing malware, abusively
operating botnets, phishing, piracy, trademark or copyright infringement, fraudulent
or deceptive practices, counterfeiting or otherwise engaging in activity contrary to
applicable laws or regulations;

Should a Registrant fail to comply with the Acceptable Use Policy, the domain name may be canceled, locked, placed on hold, transferred or deleted. Thus all Registrants in the TLDs, including ourselves, have an obligation to avoid confusion with two letter country codes and we have clear penalties for any failure to do so.

It is also an important goal for the Registry that .YOKOHAMA is operated as a trusted, safe, secure, relevant and enjoyable namespace

Protections
Registry Operator understands the concern that confusion may arise, and in order to mitigate such concern is willing to offer the following:
1. Registry Operator will commit to:
a. investigate any reports of misuse, including misleading or deceptive conduct, including those from the governments of a related country-code and provide a written report in response; and
b. where, in Registry Operator’s sole opinion, misuse has occurred, cause the domain name’s records to be removed from the DNS.
Furthermore, contained within our Domain Name Registration Policy for the .YOKOHAMA TLD is the following text:

All Applicants, all Domain Name Registrants, and any party submitting a Domain Name registration request represents and warrants that:
− to its knowledge, the registration of the Domain Name mentioned in the Application
or Domain Name Registration Request will not infringe upon or otherwise violate the
rights of any third party;
− will not register a domain name for the purpose of distributing malware, abusively
operating botnets, phishing, piracy, trademark or copyright infringement, fraudulent
or deceptive practices, counterfeiting or otherwise engaging in activity contrary to
applicable laws or regulations;

Should a Registrant fail to comply with the Acceptable Use Policy, the domain name may be canceled, locked, placed on hold, transferred or deleted. Thus all Registrants in the TLDs, including ourselves, have an obligation to avoid confusion with two letter country codes and we have clear penalties for any failure to do so.

Registry Operator understands the concern that confusion may arise, and in order to mitigate such concern is willing to commit to:
a. investigate any reports of misuse, including misleading or deceptive conduct, including those from any relevant government and provide a written report in response; and
b. where, in Registry Operator’s sole opinion, misuse has occurred, registry operator will seek to work indirectly with the sponsoring registrar and/or directly with the registrant to address the misuse.
c. In the event that misuse continues to occur, the Registry Operator may, in its sole discretion, undertake direct action up to and including suspension or deletion of the domain name.

2 Letter Codes Mitigation Plan for YODOBASHI TLDs
(.yodobashi .goldpoint)

To address the confusion concerns cited by governments regarding the use of the second-level domains in the YODOBASHI TLDs,
YODOBASHI CAMERA CO.,LTD. will implement a closed registration policy for YODOBASHI TLDs that mitigates the potential confusion. To these ends, YODOBASHI CAMERA CO., LTD. commits to the following:

・Developing and implementing a closed registration policy for YODOBASHI TLDs that requires that all domains name in the TLDs be registered and used by YODOBASHI CAMERA CO.,LTD., its affiliates, or its trademark licensees;

・Clearly publishing this registration policy on Registry Operator`s homepage for the YODOBASHI TLDs at “nic.yodobashi”, and “nic.goldpoint”.

・Referring to this registration policy in registry Operator`s Registry-Registrar Agreement with all appointed preferred registrars for the YODOBASHI TLDs.

・Enforcing of this registration policy and ensuring continued compliance, including through annual recertification of YODOBASHI TLDs` qualification for Specification 13; and

・Using all domain names in the YODOBASHI TLDs in association with YODOBASHI`s brand products, and services.

This publicly available registration and usage policy would prevent Governments from registering domains in the YODOBASHI TLDs. It would therefore clearly designate to the public that YODOBASHI TLDs were proprietary spaces in which all second-level domains in the TLDs were being operated by YODOBASHI CAMERA CO., LTD. and not governments.

Nigeria does not support the release of Two-Character ASCII Labels ".ng" or the use of "NIGERIA", in the context of any/all of the gTLD(s) at the second level. This should apply to all current and future requests. It is against Nigerian law and strictly prohibited to use the word "Nigeria" or code representing Nigeria without proper authorization by the Government. This assists the Country forestall the abuse and misuse of reserved names associated with the Government; the release would be a breach of our laws. We also wish to inform you that Nigeria reserves the right of authorization for use of “NGR” and “NGA”. As these are also reserved for use by Nigeria. (ISO 3166). We will appreciate it if we are informed of the decision(s) taken.

it Comments

By Rita Forsi, Italia GAC Representative, Ministry of Economic Development

With reference to the process for Considering Comments for Two-Character Letter/Letter Labels launched by ICANN on October 6, 2015, Italy restates its position expressed on March 25, 2015 (http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/twochar_comments/2015/000063.html) and on May 14, 2015 (email attached).

Italy does not object tout-court to the delegation of our ccSLD, but wants to exercise the right to evaluate the delegation of “it” as a SLD on a case-by-case basis.

The evaluation process takes into account not only the confusion risks, but also the national and international legal framework (e.g. IPR) and opportunity considerations (e.g. it.sucks).

We would like to recall that both the Singapore and Dublin GAC Communiqué advise the Board that comments submitted by the relevant Governments be fully considered regardless of the grounds for objection.

For the abovementioned reasons, we reiterate our position expressed in March 25 2015 for the release of the two‐character “it” label at the second level under new gTLDs.

In general, “it” label string may be released to the extent that the registry operator reaches a formal agreement with the Italian government (included our ccTLD registry “.it”) as per Specification 5 of the Registry Agreement.
This policy is to be applied to all new gTLDs, including, but not limited to, those falling within Category 1 and Category 2 of the Beijing Communiquè. who have requested for the release of “it” labels at the second level.
The authorization requests should be sent to the Italian GAC representatives.

Furthermore, we would like to underline that these “lines-to-take” are agreed with the “.it” Registry.

tw Comments

By Lin, Mao-Shong, Deputy Director, Ministry of Transportation and Communications

I’m writing hereby to submit Taiwan government’s comments on the release of the “tw” label under the New gTLDs.

We object to the release of “tw” as SLD under all the above-mentioned New gTLDs for their registration by the corresponding Registry operators. We reserve the right to change position in this regard in the future.

The rationale of our objections are below:
Since “tw” label is the country code for Taiwan, the use of “tw” as SLD under these diverse New gTLDs would create confusion or concerns at multiple levels on our part, which include, but not limited to, ”dwarfing national dignity”, “violation of public order or good social custom”, “affecting the rights of domestic enterprises”, and “being prone to produce perplexity to our disadvantage”.

sg Comments

By Queh Ser Pheng, Deputy Director, Internet Resource Management, Policy & Competition Development Group, Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore

We hereby respectfully submit our comment regarding the release of letter/letter two-character labels as second level domains.

At this stage, we are unable to agree to the release of the two-character "sg" label at the second-level under gTLDs because of the concern that such use would create confusion with the ccTLD "sg" representing Singapore. Until further notice, this policy is to be applied to all gTLDs who have requested or will be requesting for the release of letter-letter two-character labels at the second level.

To elaborate further, we are open to considering the release of "sg" to registry operators who have robust framework in place to address concerns of government. We recognise there are legitimate and valid reasons for such use. However, we are of the view that it is prudent for ICANN to first put in place a holistic and robust framework before approvals can be given. More thoughts need to be given to the evaluation process and in particular the remedies available should a registry operator use the approved names in an undesirable manner. Besides possible confusion with the corresponding country code and/or country/territory name, we are also concerned with:

(a) The possible reputational harm if ".sg." is associated with illegal or objectionable content and/or manner-of-use; and

(b) The direct harm if ".sg." content or manner-of-use targets Singapore as a nation or Singapore entities (e.g., websites could masquerade as Singapore Government agencies).

ICANN's current policy focuses only on the "initial release" process. There needs to be considerations given to "post-release" issues. As such, the ICANN framework should include:

(a) A recourse for the government/country code manager to issue a notice to object to the content and/or manner-of-use that is misleading, questionable, objectionable or contrary to the country’s reputation and laws. There should be an effective and robust process acceptable by the government/country code manager for the registry operator to address the concern; and

(b) Provisions to require the registry operator to re-seek approval from government/country code manager should there be material changes in ownership or organisational control (for example merger with or acquisitions by another entity).

In addition, ICANN must be committed to take actions against the registry operator should they fail to comply with the framework (e.g. implement a process for country/territory to raise objections to ICANN and for ICANN to take appropriate remedial actions such as remove/delete/revoke affected names).

pt Comments

By Ana Cristina Ferreira Amoroso das Neves, Director, Department Information Society, Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education

I request previous comments to objections to the release of the ".pt" as the SLD signalling 1) consumer protection concerns and confusion; 2) some gTLD correspond to a regulated market in EU countries, so their release might generate possible abuses and confusion at the end-users level and therefore must be subject to authorization by the Portuguese Government; 3) others should remain reserved so that can only be assigned to a person, entity or corporation proposed or accepted by the Portuguese Government, which demands consultations with the Portuguese Government. These comments are due to the ICANN's new process launched on the 6th October 2015 on the use of the 2-letter CC and CN at the SLD, taken into account nonetheless GAC's advice from Dublin Communiqué (October 2015). Confusability exists in all instances since the PT code is widely recognized both on and off the Internet as an identifier for Portugal. In this regard, we are concerned that consumers assume that persons or undertakings operating under "pt.string" not only offer their services in Portugal or products or services related to Portugal but that they comply with applicable regulations. As this may not be warranted by registration policies and contracts, we would request Portuguese Government is consulted before any registration, regardless of the grounds for objection. Portugal reserves the right to change position in this regard in the future.
The Portuguese Government will continue to closely follow the evolution of the market and of the technical and political framework to collect data and evidence to better understand the consequences of such release.

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,

hk Comments

By Dominic Kwong, Alternate GAC Representative of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China, Office of the Government Chief Information Officer

In response to ICANN’s request for clarification of 6 October 2015 on how the release of two-character country codes as the second level domain (SLD) in new gTLDs would create confusion, we would like to reiterate our views on 24 March and 27 May 2015, which have stated the confusion and rationale related to the release of "hk" as SLD on the following two categories of new gTLDs, that they shall NOT be released for ALL requests:

(a) New gTLDs associated with Highly-regulated Sectors/Closed Entry Requirements in Multiple Jurisdictions and Inherently Governmental Functions as set out in ICANN NGPC Resolution No. 2014.02.05.NG01; and

(b) New gTLDs falling within the category of Geographic gTLDs referred to in ICANN’s New gTLD Program (i.e. the gTLD string is a geographic name as provided in the ICANN's gTLD Applicant Guidebook), and .capital, .city, .country, .town, and .world.

For easy reference, texts of our previous submitted views are reproduced below:

HKSARG’s VIEWS ON 24 MARCH 2015

‘I am writing to express the view of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government on the release of "hk" as the second level domain (SLD) in new gTLDs.

Our ccTLD, .hk, is commonly understood as the abbreviated name of Hong Kong. HK means Hong Kong to the Internet community globally and locally. The use of "hk" as SLD in new gTLDs would give the perception that the domain names in question belong to or are related to Hong Kong and the Hong Kong community.

(I) gTLDs for Regulated Sectors

As pointed out by GAC, gTLD strings that are linked to regulated or professional sectors should operate in a way that is consistent with applicable laws. These gTLD strings or Category 1 gTLDs are likely to invoke a level of implied trust from consumers, and carry higher levels of risk associated with consumer harm. GAC advised ICANN to apply safeguards (GAC Safeguard Advice 1 - 5) to these strings. In addition, for a limited subset of the Category 1 gTLDs that are associated with market sectors which have clear and/or regulated entry requirements (i.e. highly-regulated sectors), additional safeguards (GAC Safeguard Advice 6 - 8) should apply.

In this context, for the use of "hk" as SLD in new gTLDs associated with (1) Highly-regulated Sectors/Closed Entry Requirements in Multiple Jurisdictions and (2) Inherently Governmental Functions as set out in the ICANN NGPC Resolution No. 2014.02.05.NG01, The Government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR Government) requests that :

(a) Registry operator should consult HKSAR Government on any request for domain name registration;
(b) The registry operator should implement measures in line with GAC safeguards 6-8 on verification and validation of credentials of registrants;
(c) Registry operator should consult HKSAR Government on any complaint expressing doubt with regard to authenticity of licences or credentials.

(II) Geographic gTLDs

For geographic gTLDs which are names of cities, countries or regions, or have strong geographic connotation, putting "hk" at the second level may cause confusion or perception of subordination. Among the current requests posted from 23 February 2015 to 19 March 2015, these gTLDs include: .amsterdam, .bayern, .berlin, .budapest, .capital, .city, .country, .frl, .hamburg, .kyoto, .london, .miami, .nagoya, .nrw, .nyc, .osaka, .taipei, .tirol, .tokyo, .town, .wien, .world, .yokohama, and .zuerich.

In this context, HKSAR Government requests that Registry operator should consult HKSAR Government on any request for domain name registration on such gTLDs.’


HKSARG’s VIEWS ON 27 MAY 2015

‘For the current requests of R000375 to R000466 and ALL FUTURE requests, “hk” shall NOT be included in ICANN's Authorization for Release of Two-character Letter/Letter ASCII Labels at the Second Level and shall NOT be released as SLD for -

(a) New gTLDs associated with Highly-regulated Sectors/Closed Entry Requirements in Multiple Jurisdictions and Inherently Governmental Functions as set out in ICANN NGPC Resolution No. 2014.02.05.NG01; and

(b) New gTLDs falling within the category of GEOGRAPHIC gTLDs referred to in ICANN’s New gTLD Program (i.e. the gTLD string is a geographic name as provided in the ICANN's gTLD Applicant Guidebook), and NAMELY .melbourne, .saarland, and .sydney in the current requests.'

Domain Name System
Internationalized Domain Name ,IDN,"IDNs are domain names that include characters used in the local representation of languages that are not written with the twenty-six letters of the basic Latin alphabet ""a-z"". An IDN can contain Latin letters with diacritical marks, as required by many European languages, or may consist of characters from non-Latin scripts such as Arabic or Chinese. Many languages also use other types of digits than the European ""0-9"". The basic Latin alphabet together with the European-Arabic digits are, for the purpose of domain names, termed ""ASCII characters"" (ASCII = American Standard Code for Information Interchange). These are also included in the broader range of ""Unicode characters"" that provides the basis for IDNs. The ""hostname rule"" requires that all domain names of the type under consideration here are stored in the DNS using only the ASCII characters listed above, with the one further addition of the hyphen ""-"". The Unicode form of an IDN therefore requires special encoding before it is entered into the DNS. The following terminology is used when distinguishing between these forms: A domain name consists of a series of ""labels"" (separated by ""dots""). The ASCII form of an IDN label is termed an ""A-label"". All operations defined in the DNS protocol use A-labels exclusively. The Unicode form, which a user expects to be displayed, is termed a ""U-label"". The difference may be illustrated with the Hindi word for ""test"" — परीका — appearing here as a U-label would (in the Devanagari script). A special form of ""ASCII compatible encoding"" (abbreviated ACE) is applied to this to produce the corresponding A-label: xn--11b5bs1di. A domain name that only includes ASCII letters, digits, and hyphens is termed an ""LDH label"". Although the definitions of A-labels and LDH-labels overlap, a name consisting exclusively of LDH labels, such as""icann.org"" is not an IDN."
