The ALAC recognizes the importance of the work carried by the ccNSO Study Group (ccSG) on the use of country and territory names and empathizes with its efforts in trying to shuffle through the complexity involved in categorizing them.
The ALAC supports all ccSG recommendations and urges the ccNSO Council to readily accept its advice that the ICANN Board extends the current rule in the new gTLD Applicant Guidebook regarding the exclusion of all country and territory names in all languages, for consecutive rounds of new gTLD applications. This extension should remain until the feasibility of creating a definitional framework to provide consistent treatment of these names is determined.
