However, as said before, problems in the application of the AGB 2012 related to geonames as Top Level Domains have arisen in relation to those names with a geographic meaning/significance that were <b>not</b> covered under the 2012 AGB rules (we all know some examples that still are lingering today, such as “.amazon”). I would therefore suggest, for the time being, that we include in this definition discussion, the notion that there were names with geographic meaning not covered by the 2012 AGB definitions and rules, which according to a factual analysis have given rise to problems, and that therefore a debate would be warranted, in order to include them under the definitions in a manner to be agreed upon, establishing a framework for mutually agreed outcomes amongst all interested parties in such applications.</span><o:p></o:p></li></ul><p class=MsoListParagraph><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Treatment</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>: according to the available data (for instance the data circulated prior to the webinar organized in April last year) the 2012 AGB requirement of a non-objection letter by the relevant public authorities worked well, as it created a good mix of incentives for applicants and relevant authorities to arrive at mutually accepted solutions for the delegation of the strings. </span><o:p></o:p></li></ul><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>@staff/co-leads: please kindly include these points in the record and/or relevant documents.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Thanks and best regards</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Jorge </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=DE style='font-size:11.0pt'>Von:</span></b><span lang=DE style='font-size:11.0pt'> Gnso-newgtld-wg-wt5 [</span><a href="mailto:gnso-newgtld-wg-wt5-bounces@icann.org"><span lang=DE style='font-size:11.0pt'>mailto:gnso-newgtld-wg-wt5-bounces@icann.org</span></a><span lang=DE style='font-size:11.0pt'>] <b>Im Auftrag von </b>Emily Barabas<br><b>Gesendet:</b> Donnerstag, 1.
