[NCUC-DISCUSS] Cross Community Discussion/ Geographic Names at the Top Level Session II

[farzaneh badii]

Hi

This is about procedures for new gtlds and does not affect the already
existing ones.

The issue is some in GAC and CCNSO want to claim any name that is remotely
related to the sovereign. The danger is that, they can claim some generic
names too that happen to relate to a sovereign. If they are delegated the
names, they will have whatever rule the sovereign wants for domain
registration. It is certainly a landgrab. The plan is to grab as much as
they can from gTLD space and move it to ccTLD space.
