((- Eligibility: who is eligible to register a second-level name in the gTLD, and how will eligibility be determined.))
As described in the response to Questions 20(a), two types of conditions must be fulfilled for the right to register a .Madrid name. These are:
(A) community membership (bona fide presence in the Madrid area) and
(B) the additional requirements that
- the presence in Madrid area and use of domain are generally accepted as legitimate;
- the presence in Madrid area and use of domain are conducive to welfare of the Madrid area;
- the presence in Madrid area and use of domain are commensurate to role and importance of domain;
- presence in Madrid area and use of domain are based on good faith at registration and thereafter.
These conditions must always be fulfilled. The strength of the validation is kept in line with the importance of the underlying domain name base on the assumption that a typical user would reasonably make.
To facilitate validation, registrants are required to state their intended use of the registered domain name. A false statement of intended use is an indication of bad faith and can be the basis for the suspension of the domain name.
Registrants are further required to have an administrative contact in the Madrid area. This is verified in part automatically (through the postal code in the administrative contact record and by a human eyes review pre-validation or post-validation). The administrative contact may be any person or entity having received and accepted the mandate to act as such for the respective domain. (The registrar may act as administrative contact.) Any communications addressed to the administrative contact are deemed to have been brought to the attention of the domain holder. Validation checks include machine and human verification of address accuracy.
The validation may be assisted through pre-identification of potential registrants using existing community channels, in particular through promotion codes.
After the launch phase, the validation mode goes from pre-validation to post-validation and later to statistically targeted random validation, backed up by a ongoing enforcement program.
The validation and enforcement program are supported by an integrated issue tracking system. This system allows validating agents and personnel to cooperate and interact with the registrant. The system keeps track of decisions made by the agents and stores supplemental documentary evidence that may be supplied by the registrants.
((- Name selection: what types of second-level names may be registered in the gTLD.))
The fundamental rule on which name selection is based is part of the policy principles: the registrant’s presence in Madrid area and use of domain must be commensurate to role and importance of domain registered.
The role and importance of the domain name is based on meaning an average user in would reasonably make in the context of that domain name.
This criterion also applies to the strength of the documentation or proof required of the registrant.
Pre-definition of the name space, especially names with significance for Madrid area from a public service or public interest standpoint, is developed through special programs with strong selection processes, based on proposals made by parties interested in providing content on such domain names. This process not only cover the identity and legitimacy of the party entrusted with the operation of the domain(s), but also a defined obligations with respect to the content to provide for the benefit of the public.
((- Content⁄Use: what restrictions, if any, the registry operator will impose on how a registrant may use its registered name.))
As described in the response to Question 20(a), not only the registrant’s Madrid presence but also the use of the domain must be:
- generally accepted as legitimate
- conducive to welfare of the Madrid area
- commensurate to role and importance of domain
- based on good faith at registration and thereafter
This is verified on the basis of:
1) the intended use statement supplied by the domain registrant at the time of registration (or possibly updated later)
2) the ongoing enforcement program.
((- Enforcement: what investigation practices and mechanisms exist to enforce the policies above, what resources are allocated for enforcement, and what appeal mechanisms are available to registrants.))
The purpose of the enforcement program is to protect the credibility of the .MADRID TLD for its local in international public. In particular, upholds the community-based purpose of the .MADRID TLD and helps prevent misuse or malicious behaviour.
The enforcement program is based on statistically targeted random investigations and on a complaint follow-up process. The statistical targeting is strongly automated and involves the use of search engines and the analysis of registry data related to behaviour of registrants.
Depending on the type of misuse to be investigated, web site content or content sent to victims of abuse will reviewed and analyzed by investigators.
Enhanced investigation takes place if the registrant has a bad track record in terms of compliance with the rules of the .MADRID TLD. Other violations of public record (such as UDRP or URS cases) will also be taken into account.
If the intended use cannot be deemed legitimate or has a negative impact on the welfare of the Madrid area, the registration is rejected. If content or use of an existing .MADRID domain demonstrate that the registrant has shown bad faith by stating a false intended use, the domain name is suspended.
If a registrar is complicit with systematic violations of the .MADRID policies or causes an unacceptable burden for the validation and enforcement program by negligence, the registry can restrict that registrar’s access to the new registrations, subject its inventory of .MADRID domains to enhanced investigation and require it conduct its own post-validation program.
An appeals process is available for all administrative measures taken in the framework of the enforcement program. The first instance of the appeals process is managed by the registry service provider. The Region of Madrid provides the second and last instance of an appeals process by itself or entrusts it to an alternative dispute resolution provider. The charter of the appeals process is promulgated by the Region of Madrid.

In order to support the community-based purpose the .LAMBORGHINI Registration Policies will implement the following provisions:
Eligibility
Only Registry Operator shall be eligible to register Domain Names. Registry Operator verifies all domain name registrations upon registration and renewal.
Registry Operator verifies domain name registrations upon initial registration and renewal. Verification of eligibility will be effected by Review by Registry Operator, which may occur prior to or after registration of the Domain Name.
Name selection
With regard to the community character of the .LAMBORGHINI TLD Domain Names must have a strong connection with products, services, activities , members or organizations of the Lamborghini Community. Domain Names shall comprise
- the names of Community members,
- trademarks, service marks, names or designations used for products and ⁄ or services offered by Community members, and⁄or
- strings, which in connection with the Top Level Domain create a nexus, an association or relation to trademarks of community members comprising the string LAMBORGHINI or to the Community, its members, activities or purposes.
Content⁄Use
Domain Names are intended to be used for domain name based services (e.g. HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, email, website) in connection with products, services, activities and organizations of the LAMBORGHINI Community.
With regard to the community character of the .LAMBORGHINI TLD Domain Names shall, within six months following the date of registration and thereafter throughout the term of registration, be used either for a website displaying content strongly related to the Community (in particular the products or services offered by community members) or in any other corresponding manner (e. g. e-mail for Community members) having a similarly strong relation to the Community, its members or its purposes.
Domain names used as contemplated above may resolve directly to the relevant website or be forwarded or redirected to another domain name displaying content relevant to the Domain Name.
Registry Operator will not sell, distribute or transfer control or use of any registrations in the Top Level Domain to any third party other than an Affiliate of Registry Operator.
Monitoring
Registry Operator will, from time to time, conduct continuing or recurring audits of Domain Names to ensure continued compliance with these requirements.
Enforcement
In case of policy violations (including violation of eligibility criteria or community related restrictions as described above) the following Enforcement Procedures apply:
* Notification of Policy Violation
Registry Operator maintains an email address as point of contact for information about potential violations of the Policy. If Registry Operator receives such notification or is informed otherwise of a potential violation of the Policy it will undertake the necessary steps to evaluate complaints and to ascertain any Policy violations.
* Interim Measures
During the notice period, Registry Operator may - without establishing any obligation to do so or liability to any other party - suspend, cancel, delete or otherwise alter or amend the respective Domain Name registration as deemed appropriate to reduce the effect of the Policy violation.
* Opportunity to Correct or Respond
If reasonable, Registry Operator notifies the parties involved in the alleged Policy violation and gives them the opportunity to remedy the violation or to respond to the allegations. Registrant and the Registrar of record for the Domain Name shall be copied on all such requests and notices where reasonably practical and appropriate. Notice periods should be oriented to the following scheme:
(1) If the registration data appears to be incorrect or incomplete, Registrant shall be given a thirty (30) days’ notice period to correct such data
(2) In other cases of a Policy violation the infringer shall be given a fifteen (15) days’ notice period to comply with the relevant Policy
(3) If the violation constitutes an imminent threat to third parties` rights, the stability of the domain name system or the registry or if the violation cannot be remedied a notice period may be inappropriate.
* Decision of Registry Operator
Registry Operator decides whether a particular issue is of concern. If Registry Operator concludes that the Registration or use of the Domain Name violates the Policy Registry Operator may take the appropriate measures, in particular the measures specified in Section 14 of response to #18 b iv.
If Registry Operator receives no or merely insufficient response within the notice period Registry Operator may revoke the Domain Name registration without any further notice.
Decisions of the Registry Operator are subject to the right of the concerned party to judicial review at the competent courts.
Registry Operator is committed to ensure the compliance of Registrations with the conditions set forth in this policy and to protect the intellectual property of third parties. The Dispute Resolution Policies include Uniform Domain Name Dispute Policy (UDRP), Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS), Trademark Post Delegation Dispute Resolution Policy (Trademark PDDRP), Registry Restrictions Dispute Resolution Policy (RRDRP) and an Eligibility Requirements Dispute Resolution Policy (ERDRP). The ERDRP will give third parties the opportunity to challenge registrations that do not fulfill the eligibility requirements as specified above. The only remedy under ERDRP shall be cancellation of the domain name. Please refer to response to #29 for further details on rights protection mechanisms.
Resources for Enforcement
Due to the fact that only the applicant is eligible to register domain names, violations of community based restrictions (in particular name selection restrictions, content and use restrictions and eligibility) are not expected at all. Due to the expected low numbers of domain registrations in the TLD, the monitoring of the community-based restrictions can be conducted by the existing staff of the applicant that manages domain names today. However, in the unlikely event that enforcement is necessary, the Registry will provide with its own staff and together with the applicants staff (which is separate from the Registry staff), the Registry-Service-Provider, the Registrar concerned and external lawyers sufficient resources for enforcement of the policies.
