2015-10-21 Use of 2-letter Country Codes and Country Names at the Second Level
5. Use of 2-letter Country Codes and Country Names at the Second Level
The GAC notes that the process for considering comments for two-character letter/letter labels launched on the 6th October 2015 is not consistent with GAC advice which recommended that governments´ comments be fully considered. That advice was accepted by Board resolution 2015.02.12.16.
GAC Members have now been asked to clarify which specific TLDs their comments pertain to, and to explain how the release of the two-letter label will cause confusion with their corresponding country code. The GAC reiterates its advice on this issue and
a. advises the Board that:
i. comments submitted by the relevant Governments be fully considered regardless of the grounds for objection.
b. The GAC further advises the Board to:
i. be mindful of governments´ capacity limitations and asks the Board to facilitate simplification of the process for providing comments to address their concerns.
c. With respect to new requests for release, the GAC advises the Board to:
i. task ICANN to work with the GAC Secretariat to address the technical issues with comment forms and in the interim
ii. offer alternative means for comments.
