<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#333333">Below (and attached) is the comment of ICANN’s Business Constituency (BC), regarding</span><span style="color:black"> Proposed Consensus Policy on Protections for Certain Red Cross and Red Crescent Names in All
Generic Top-Level Domains.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:black">In order to safeguard both public policy and consumer trust in the safety of the DNS, the BC fully supports the proposal that Red Cross names and their variants, as detailed in the agreed
finite list within the Final Report, should be reserved in all gTLDs. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:black">In particular we note that these recommendations are based upon international and national humanitarian law, and not upon intellectual property rights. We also note that the reservation
of these names clearly fits within ICANN's mission of ensuring the security of the DNS.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:black">It is important to us that going forward the cooperation achieved between the GAC and GNSO during this policy process, particularly regarding efforts carried out during ICANN 58's facilitated
discussion, is repeated in future matters that require such a level of broad involvement from government and non-government actors. Perhaps in this way, future processes can be expedited to better answer the demands of the global community while maintaining
the consensus approach.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
