[Comments-cwg-uctn-interim-paper-24feb17] Interim Paper Cross-Community Working Group on Use of Names of Countries and Territories as Top Level Domains

[Ser Pheng QUEH (IMDA)]

Dear CCWG-UCTN,


Singapore supports the CCWG-UCTN's recommendation that ICANN's existing policy of reserving "two-letter representations of country and territory names in the ISO 3166-1 alpha2-standard" for ccTLDs should be maintained.

On 3-letter codes at the top-level, we note that the CCWG-UCTN has been unable to come to a consensus for a recommendation.  We note also that the GAC-Helsinki communique advises the ICANN Board to "keep current protections in place" and appreciate that the Board ensures this advice is kept in mind while this issue is still being discussed.

Lastly, we support the CCWG-UCTN's recommendation that ICANN consolidate all policy efforts relating to geographic names to enable in-depth analysis on all aspects.

Thank you.



Regards,
QUEH Ser Pheng
