22 Describe proposed measures for protection of geographic names at the second and other levels in the applied-for gTLD

Prototypical answer:

However, if these domain names are registered, the applicant will comply with the following limits:
* The domain names will be recorded in the name registry (A.C.D. Lec).
* When consent is required before the registration and use of a cited domain name, pursuant to specification 5 of the Registration Agreement, the applicant shall obtain consent before registration, delegation or use of the domain name.

According with GAC advice on geographic names at the second level, the .LECLERC registry some specific geographical names will not be available for registration.
* All the abbreviations of the country codes and territory names detailed on the 3166-1 list, including the European Union.

* The Technical Reference Manual for the Standardization of Geographical Names, from the United Nations which lists the names of 193 independent States generally recognized by the international community in the language or languages used in an official capacity.

However, given that the applicant is a mass distribution company, its visitors and clients are primarily seeking offers and activities organized by regional and local LECLERC stores. The applicant can in fact create plans to register domain names that contain geographic names (only the names of cities and regions).

As the A.C.D. Lec decided to choose single registrants model, all the requests to registrars that might be accepted comes from this entity. Then all the domain names will belong to A.C.D. Lec and the registry commits to obtain the validation of proof of non-objection from the relevant public authority.
