IGO-INGO Legal Review request:

With respect to the question of securing legal advice regarding the
protection of IGO-INGO names, the WG requests from the office of the ICANN
General Counsel an answer to the following question:

 

Is ICANN aware of any jurisdiction in which a statute, treaty or other
applicable law prohibits either or both of the following actions by or under
the authority of ICANN:

a)      the assignment by ICANN at the top level, or

b)      the registration by a registry or a registrar accredited by ICANN of
a domain name requested by any party at the second level, of the name or
acronym of an intergovernmental organization (IGO) or an international
non-governmental organization receiving protections under treaties and
statutes under multiple jurisdictions (INGO)?

 

If the answer is affirmative, please specify the jurisdiction(s) and cite
the law."
