Currently, .IKANO, .SAXO, .SCOR, .SANDVIK, .WALTER, .SANDVIKCOROMANT, .VISTA, 
.VISTAPRINT, .BARCLAYS, .BARCLAYCARD and .HERMES Registry Agreements require 
country and territory names contained in specific internationally recognized 
lists to be withheld from registration or allocated to the registry operator at 
all levels.

As required by the RSEP, ICANN has undertaken a preliminary determination on 
whether these RSEP proposals might raise significant competition, security or 
stability issues. ICANN’s preliminary review (based on the information 
provided) did not identify any such issues.

Following ICANN’s preliminary determination that the proposals do not raise 
significant competition, security or stability issues, it was further 
determined that the change would require a material change to the respective 
Registry Agreements and that an amendment is needed in order to effect the 
change.
The proposed amendments, which are being posted for comment, would allow the 
registration of country and territory names at all levels in .IKANO, .SAXO, 
.SCOR, .SANDVIK, .WALTER, .SANDVIKCOROMANT, .VISTA, .VISTAPRINT, .BARCLAYS, 
.BARCLAYCARD and .HERMES TLDs. It should be noted that Specification 13 has 
been granted for .IKANO on 9 July 2015, Specification 13 has been granted for 
both .SAXO and .SCOR on 31 October 2014, Specification 13 has been granted for 
.SANDVIK, .WALTER, .SANDVIKCOROMANT, .BARCLAYS, and .BARCLAYCARD on 4 December 
2014, Specification 13 has been granted for both .VISTA and .VISTAPRINT on 13 
August 2015, and Specification 13 has been granted for .HERMES on 9 October 
2014.
