<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">1 December 2014</span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">As previously announced, ICANN has been working towards developing a process to permit registries to request the release of two-character ASCII labels at the second-level for registration to 3rd parties and activation
in the DNS pursuant to Section 2 of Specification 5. That process is now final and available.</span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">For all digit/digit, letter/digit and digit/letter two-character ASCII labels, because this category has been determined not to raise significant security, stability or competition concerns and has received no objections
from governments, country code top-level domain managers, and members of the technical community or rights holders, ICANN has authorized their release for all registries:</span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">• Authorization for the Release of All Digit/Digit, Letter/Digit and Digit/Letter Two-Character ASCII Labels at the Second-Level Authorization [PDF, 142 KB]
</span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">Accordingly, registries are not required to submit any individual request for release of any digit/digit, letter/digit or digit/letter two-character ASCII label, and may immediately make such labels available for third
party registration and activation in the DNS.</span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">Registries seeking to release letter/letter two-character ASCII labels at the second-level will continue to follow a transparent process as recommended by the Government Advisory Committee (GAC).</span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">1. Registry operator submits a request to ICANN to release one or more letter/letter two-character ASCII label(s).
</span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">2. ICANN reviews the request and posts it for comment for 30 days.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">3. ICANN notifies the GAC of the request and the comment period.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">4. If there are no relevant and reasoned objections to the request, ICANN will approve the letter/letter ASCII label(s) request within 7-10 calendar days of the close of the 30-day public posting period.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">In accordance to Section 6 of Specification 5 of the Registry Agreement, a list of reserved names for this section are still subject to the reservation requirements and will not be available for release at this time.</span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">To learn more about the Authorization Process for Release of Two-Character ASCII Labels at the second level, and to obtain the form for "Request for Release of Letter/Letter Two-Character ASCII Labels at the Second
Level," please click here. ICANN will communicate in writing its approval of any such request, if and to the extent appropriate.</span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">ICANN's Registry Services and Engagement team looks forward to implementing these processes to allow registries and their registrants access to two-character SLDs, and thanks the community for its input.</span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">ICANN's mission is to ensure a stable, secure and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address into your computer - a name or a number. That address has to be unique
so computers know where to find each other. ICANN coordinates these unique identifiers across the world. Without that coordination we wouldn't have one global Internet. ICANN was formed in 1998. It is a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with participants
from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable. It promotes competition and develops policy on the Internet's unique identifiers. ICANN doesn't control content on the Internet. It cannot stop spam and it doesn't
deal with access to the Internet. But through its coordination role of the Internet's naming system, it does have an important impact on the expansion and evolution of the Internet. For more information please visit: www.icann.org</span></p>
