[twochar_comments] Comment on New gTLD Requests for Release of Two-Character Letter-Letter

[Ser Pheng QUEH (IDA)]

Dear ICANN staff,


With respect to requests (reference numbers R000555 - R000581, posted from 17 Jul -  27 Aug 2015), we would like to submit the following comment.

"At this stage, we are unable to agree to the release of the two-character "sg" label at the second-level under new gTLDs because of the concern that such use would create confusion with the ccTLD "sg" representing Singapore. Until further notice, this policy is to be applied to all new gTLDs who have requested for the release of letter-letter two-character labels at the second level."

To reiterate, our disagreement (as stated above) is applied to all new gTLDs who have or will be requesting for the release of letter-letter two-character labels at the second level.

Thank you.



Best Regards,

Ser Pheng QUEH (Mr)
