Avis du GAC
2012-03-16-IOCRC-1
N/A
Consensus atteint
2012-03-16-IOCRC-1
Communication
The GAC advises that the IOC, Red Cross and Red Crescent names should be protected without delay at the top level so that these protections can be applied as part of the first round of new gTLD applications. The GAC and Generic Names Supporting Organisation (GNSO) held a focused exchange on the efforts by members of the GNSO community to develop proposals to protect the IOC/Red Cross and Red Crescent names at the top and second levels. The GNSO Drafting Team provided an overview of its proposals to ensure effective protection is available at the top level, which the GAC concurred with. If approved by the GNSO Council, these proposals will be forwarded to the ICANN Board. In that event, the GAC urges the Board to act expeditiously on these proposals, to ensure that the IOC/Red Cross and Red Crescent names will benefit from full protection at the top level. During the exchange, the GAC confirmed the rationale for its consensus proposal to protect IOC/Red Cross and Red Crescent names. As this rationale is not outlined in the Applicant Guidebook the GAC notes the need for clarification of the underlying criteria.
