<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Nick,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for this feedback. I just wanted to highlight that the 2012 Applicant Guidebook provision did cover all names associated with codes on the list, regardless of whether they were country and territory names or not. In other words,
GDD has confirmed that the effect of the provision was consistent with the way the language was presented in the AGB. The Work Track is welcome to suggest a change to the provision, but it may be helpful for the WT to suggest a specific change rather than
requesting clarification, unless there is still something that is unclear about the existing language at this point.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Looking at the draft text for the WT5 report, would it be better to amend as follows:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>The 2012 Applicant Guidebook reserved any string that is a “short- or long-</i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>form name association with a code that has been designated as “exceptionally reserved” by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency”.
<u>Upon more detailed advice and examination of those “exceptionally reserved” codes it has been highlighted that the effect of reserving the short- or long- form names associated with the “exceptionally reserved” codes in the 2012 Applicant Guidebook is unclear.
For example in the case of EZ which is exceptionally reserved as referring to OTC derivatives, and whether or not this resulted in the exclusion of ‘United Nations’ and ‘European Union’ from being allowed as new gTLDs in the AGB2012 since those terms are not
country names. This provision should be clarified for the next round of new gTLDs.
</u><s>Some Work Track members have stated that an “exceptionally reserved” list does not exist under the ISO 3166 standard, and therefore it is unclear what this provision references. Do you agree or disagree? Please explain.</s></i><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Work Track 5 members,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks to Jaap and Christopher for continuing this conversation and for sharing the below links. This is a brief attempt to summarize some of the points Jaap has previously raised about “exceptionally reserved” codes and consider next steps.
Jaap, please correct, as necessary, but I believe these are the items you have raised:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">They are not officially reserved code points, although data about these codes is available at the ISO’s Online Browsing Platform (<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.iso.org_obp_ui-23search&d=DwMGaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=mBQzlSaM6eYCHFBU-v48zs-QSrjHB0aWmHuE4X4drzI&m=-u_MruWUaTE0n-3uXJET6k4_59PeCNAeDi9z-ORDoDY&s=VU1wKX3KNJUorswkpifS1mg7ocUyNIRvJwWDCmrug1I&e=">OBP

https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:pub:PUB500001:en [iso.org]</a>, and the definition of "exceptional reservations" is included in the current standard, (ISO 3166-1:2013(E/F)) Section 7.5, Reservation of Code Elements<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">The list may be out of date<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">Not all exceptionally reserved codes have a short and long form name associated with them<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">Some exceptionally reserved codes do not refer to a country or territory (for example “UN” for United Nations)<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">Some places may have more than one code associated with them, for example
<span style="color:black">Tristan da Cunha has both an assigned 2-letter code (SH) and an exceptionally reserved code (TA)</span><o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p>Regarding the fourth bullet above, staff has connected with GDD colleagues to get additional clarification about the relevant provision in the 2012 Applicant Guidebook:
<i><span style="color:black">Applications for strings that are country or territory names will not be approved, as they are not available under the New gTLD Program in this application round. A string shall be considered to be a country or territory name if:
</span></i><span style="color:black">iv.<i> it is the short- or long-form name association with a code that has been designated as “exceptionally reserved” by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency.
</i></span>GDD has confirmed that all such short- and long- form names were reserved, regardless of whether they referred to a country or territory.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Jaap, I believe your briefly mentioned previously that it might be appropriate to remove or modify this provision of the AGB.
<b>If you would like to include a proposal in the Initial Report, can you kindly provide some language, along with (if possible) a description of the problem that this proposal would solve?
</b>All other Work Track members are welcome to submit proposals on this issue, as well.<o:p></o:p></p>
