Advice Item 3: New gTLDs - IGO Protections at the second level, posted at
https://gacweb.icann.org/display/GACADV/2012-10-17-IGO:

"While the GAC continues its deliberations on the protection of the names
and acronyms of Intergovernmental Organizations (IGOs) against inappropriate
third-party registration. 

 

The GAC advises the ICANN Board that: 

. in the public interest, implementation of such protection at the second
level must be accomplished prior to the delegation of any new gTLDs, and in
future rounds of gTLDs at the second and top level. 

 

The third item of advice is acknowledged. The GAC should receive a formal
written response by 11 January 2013.
