[Gnso-newgtld-wg] Reminder: Deadline Wed 15 July - "Can't Live With" Review of Package 7 and Final Check on Revised Package 6

Wed Jul 15 00:29:43 UTC 2020

Jeff, Cheryl,

I would like to seek clarification on one paragraph under part c. of
Objections

c. New issues raised in deliberations since publication of the Initial
Report, if applicable.

The Working Group discussed a proposal that there should be grounds for a
formal objection if an applied-for string is an exact translation of an
existing TLD string that is in a highly regulated sector, and the
applied-for string would not employ the same safeguards as the existing
TLD, subject to the applicant’s governing law. This proposal would
potentially require creating a new type of objection. The rationale for
this proposal is that end-users may be confused and assume that both
strings have the same safeguards in place. A concern was raised that this
proposal could potentially harm competition and discourage the use of
innovative business models. *The Working Group determined that because the
Working Group agreed upon Category 1 restrictions for regulated strings,
there is no need for the objection process*.

My question is what happens if there is an application for a string which
is an exact translation of an existing TLD string that is in a highly
regulated sector, i.e. one marked for Category 1 restrictions for regulated
strings - how is such an applied-for string dealt with?

Thanks,
Justine
