Resolution regarding the protection of IGO names at the second level of the 
first round of new gTLDs, the 28 Feb. 2013 deadline was for both the GNSO to 
provide advice as well as for IGOs to apply to ICANN to be listed on the 
reserved names list.  The language is provided below, the entire resolution and 
rationale can be found at:

RESOLVED (2012.11.26.NG02), the Board requests that the GNSO Council advise the 
Board by no later than 28 February 2013 if it is aware of any concern such as 
with the global public interest or the security or stability of the DNS, that 
the Board should take into account in making its decision about whether to 
include second level protections for certain IGO names and acronyms by 
inclusion on a Reserved Names List in section 2.2.1.2.3 of the Applicant 
Guidebook, applicable in all new gTLD registries approved in the first round of 
the New gTLD Program. The specific IGO names to be protected shall be those 
names or acronyms that: 1) qualify under the current existing criteria to 
register a domain name in the .int gTLD; and 2) have a registered .int domain 
OR a determination of eligibility under the .int criteria; and 3) apply to 
ICANN to be listed on the reserved names list for the second level prior to the 
delegation of any new gTLDs by no later than 28 February 2013.
