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

Prototypical answer:

The registry will reserve all country names set out in the lists specified in Specification 5 to the draft Registry Agreement with ICANN (the “Reserved Names”).

The registry may wish to register country names at the second level for use by members and divisions of its corporate group based in those countries. The registrant of any such domain names will always be a member of the registry’s corporate group. Registration will not be open to the general public.

In the event that the registry decides to register country names at the second level for use by members and divisions of its corporate group based in those countries, the registry intends to separately apply for ICANN and GAC approval of the release of country names for this use, as required by Specification 5 to the draft Registry Agreement with ICANN.
