for taking the time to provide these very well laid out
examples. As you explain it, it is clear that the suggested

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Thanks
for the observation. Let’s speak “openly”:<br>
<br>
Obviously the “brand consultants” fear that an application
for a brand name that is identical to a city name could be
seen as intended “use (of) the TLD primarily for purposes
associated with the city name” ……. because after all the
brand name and city name are IDENTICAL.<br>
<br>
And I think herein we find the ingenuity of the current
policy version! Let me explain with an example (an example
that hinges as Paris is a CAPITAL, AND already delegated,
but I think it may serve as example anyways):<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Paris
in France has invested an INSANE amount of time (over two
millennia to be exact), energy, dedication and over one
hundred of generation’s hard work (after all the beautiful
Paris had to be BUILT by somebody) to create one of the most
iconic brands of all times: PARIS. The city branding of
Paris has yielded to the number THREE of most visited cities
on the planet: Only Bangkok and London receive more visitors
annually (per 2018 statistics). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><br>
Obviously this invited entities all over the world to
piggyback on the fame of the city brand: which generally in
most of the cases is GOOD for the city: as it makes it even
MORE famous. You will only get copied if you are really
special.<br>
<br>
One example being “<b>PARIS</b>” (LAS VEGAS). <br>
See their logo here:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Las_Vegas#/media/<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="File:Paris_Las_Vegas_Logo.svg">File:Paris_Las_Vegas_Logo.svg</a><br>
<br>
Again: this is a rough example, please do not throw around
with your expertise and tell me (“uhh, but their TM is PARIS
LAS VEGAS” and not “PARIS”. Yeah, I know: I did an USPTO
search of course).<br>
<br>
The parent company of PARIS (Las Vegas) (CAESARS) is
literally DROWNING in cash. They have US $25 BILLION in
assets. If we go down to a meekly US $25k application fee:
they would be almost FORCED to try trademarking “paris”
(again: I know that .paris is delegated AND a capital – this
is an EXAMPLE).<br>
<br>
So IF the Las Vegas “PARIS” casino would apply for “.paris”
– it would be OBVIOUS that they would use their domain names
in connection with their brand; and their brand is 100%
based on ( and aimed at) the city of Paris in France! The
logo even contains the Tour Eiffel, and most of us will have
been in the Paris casino in person: The casino sports a HUGE
copy of the Tour Eiffel. <br>
<br>
Now in THAT case it would be literally IMPOSSIBLE to claim
that the intended use is NOT primarily connected for
purposes associated with the city name – because that’s all
the brand DOES: Creating as much association with Paris
(France) as possible! “Free-riding” doesn’t even START to
describe what they do. Legal! Even partly helpful for the
City of Paris as it shows the might of their brand that they
have established within 200 generations – but FREE-RIDING
nonetheless. <br>
<br>
And I am so terrible sorry: But if “.paris” wasn’t already
delegated and not protected through the “capital city
provisions” of the AGB: THIS would be EXACTLY a case where
the brand would use the TLD for purposes associated with the
CITY NAME (Paris, France). Hence it SHOULD go and get the
approval of the Paris city government. And guess what their
answer would be? Well. Think “Greenland”.<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">To
also provide an opposite example (and in reality most if not
ALL real life cases will be like this one):<br>
Imagine a brand “IBM”. Imagine a city “Ibm” somewhere in the
Middle East. Small city of 25,000 people – no industry,
city-GDP of almost zero. In SUCH a case “International
Business Machines Corporation” (IBM) clearly has NOT
“targeted” the city, or is trying to piggy-back (free-ride)
on its reputation. So in such case they would NOT have to
acquire a letter of non-objection.<br>
<br>
So the current wording of AGB §2.2.1.4.2. is very much in
the spirit of ICANN’S mission. If we were to add the
suggested language we would create loopholes, extra rights
that weren’t existing, and generally violate the spirit of
the application process. The circumstance that you are a
“brand” doesn’t justify the establishment of any
broad-sweeping exonerations. I can imagine why the
brand-lobby would LOVE this extra provision: but outside of
the brand cloud nobody profits from it.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>

"loophole" which Alexander brings up aside and focusing
squarely on Sophie's amended proposed text ....<br>
<br>
I still don't see the usefulness in adding the amended
proposed text. It may be only me perhaps, but I am
concerned by implications to the notion of excluding a
key conditional requirement on applicants for strings
matching non-capital city names <b><u>by mere inference</u></b>.
Simply put, is it really that difficult for an applicant
to declare outright in their application that they
intend to operate the TLD exclusively as a dotBrand <b><u>and
that they will not use the TLD primarily for
purposes associated with the city name</u></b>? <o:p></o:p></span></p>

threaten to block their application indefinitely (how
long “indefinitely” might be: ask the community
applicants for .hotel: THEY WON CPE – and are still
blocked! In 2019!). Most city applicants would rather
quickly shell out US$200k instead waiting 5 or more
years. If the application floor goes down to US
$50,000 – and we maintain 80% refund: your “cost” (as
scammer) would be just a mere US 10k per pop! So
scammers “risk” US $10k to likely earn US $200k? Hey:
We are INVITING these scams to happen! And I thought
about it just for a few minutes. <o:p></o:p></p>

<br>
The question arises: If a “real brand” is qualifying
for Spec 13 on its own merits – why having to add
such “general clause”? Could you provide an example
of “harm” for “brands” if such clause would not
exist? What do you try to “fix”? Each “fix” that
creates an “automatic right” will be source for a
“loophole”.<br>
<br>
Long story short:<br>
Your suggestion makes sense for real brands – but
real brands qualify anyway by virtue of intended use
– so your rule will only serve as loophole for
tricksters; which we did ONLY not see in 2012
because nobody foresaw the success of city gTLDs (or
rather: just a few where believers). </span><o:p></o:p></p>
