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

Prototypical answer:

Considering the fact that .BOSTON expressly reaches out to those who have a nexus or affinity with the city of Boston, TBG considers domain names that relate to other geographic names in the .BOSTON gTLD (france.boston, or tokyo.boston) to be counter-intuitive.

Therefore, unless there would be strong arguments for registering these domain names, the Applicant will abide by and comply with the provisions laid down in Specification 5 of the Registry Operator Agreement by:

- not making available geographic names available for registration as domain names in the .BOSTON gTLD; and

- where consents are required prior to the registration and use of a domain name referred to and in accordance with Specification 5 of the Registry Agreement, the Applicant will obtain such consents before actually registering, delegating and using these domain names.
