[twochar_comments] Objection to R000393 ADULT R000394 PORN R000395 SEX

[Yee Ling Yeo]

.MY is the ccTLD representing Malaysia under ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code,
duly delegated to MYNIC Berhad by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)
with registration record dated 8th June 1987. MY means Malaysia to the Internet
community globally and locally. The use of “MY” as SLD in new gTLDs would give
the perception that the domain names in question belong to or are related to
Malaysia and the Malaysian community.

The preamble to the Government Advisory Committee (GAC) Operating Principles
dated April 2005 states that ccTLDs are operated in trust by the Registry for
the public interest, including the interest of the Internet community, on behalf
of the relevant public authorities including governments, who ultimately have
public policy authority over their ccTLDs, consistent with universal
connectivity of the Internet. In this context, “MY” officially represents the
ccTLD for Malaysia and it is operated in trust by MYNIC Berhad as the duly
appointed Registry pursuant to national laws by the Malaysian Communications &
Multimedia Commission (MCMC) for the public interest, which includes the
interests of the Internet community in Malaysia and globally.

Reference is made to ICANN NGPC Resolution No. 2014.02.05.NG01 and Category 1
Safeguards as Public Interest Commitments in Specification 11 of the new gTLD
Registry Agreement. We emphasize on the importance to ensure that these
Safeguards are implemented by the Registry operators. We also emphasize on the
obligations for Registry Operators to implement measures to avoid confusion and
misleading use. Until and unless those measures to avoid confusion and
misleading use, are implemented by Registry operators, MYNIC requests that:-

Registry operator should consult MYNIC on any request for domain name
registration of “MY” at the SLD in .ADULT, .PORN & .SEX TLDs.


Thanks & Regards
