[twochar_comments] Comments on "it.casino"

[Rita Forsi]

Dear Sir / Madam 

I am hereby submitting our comments on the release of the name "it.casino" for its registration by the Registry operator of this TLD Binky Sky, LLC.

IT is the country code for Italy and ".casino" is a new gTLDs falling within the category 1 of GAC safeguards as agreed at the Beijing meeting, March 2013.

According to GAC Safeguard Advice, general safeguards for all new gTLDs plus safeguards 1 to 8 meant for category 1 new gTLDs apply to these TLDs  which target a regulated market in many countries, including Italy.

For this reason, we respectfully request “it.casino” remains  reserved, so that it can only be assigned to a person, entity or corporation proposed or accepted by Italy (included our ccTLD Registry “.it”).

This would allow us to avoid third parties using the name "it" to promote gambling services in Italy without having the required credentials.

We look forward to receiving your feedback.

Best Regards

Rita Forsi
