Question 1.  How should the Olympic and Red Cross/Red Crescent Terms be 
Treated in the Current Application Round

GAC Proposal
At the top level, the request is to protect the Olympic and Red Cross 
terms like the words “test” and “example” in the Applicant Guidebook 
(Section 2.2.1.2), extending those terms to multiple languages and 
receiving consideration during the String Similarity review.  Right now, 
these terms (in not every language) is in the section entitled “Strings 
Ineligible for Registration” and would not invoke String Similarity 
Review.

·        Option 1: Recommend no changes to Guidebook and reject GAC 
Proposal.  This means that the names set forth in 2.2.1.2.3:
a)       Are not considered “Reserved Names”
b)      Applied for strings are not reviewed for similarity to the names 
in Section 2.2.1.2.3.

·        Option 2:  Treat the terms set forth in Section 2.2..1.2.3 as 
“reserved names” under Section 2.2.1.2.  This means that:
a) the names are not available as gTLD strings to anyone; and
b)  applied-for gTLD strings are reviewed during the String Similarity 
review to determine whether they are similar to those in Section 
2.2.1.2.3. An application for a gTLD string that is identified as too 
similar to a Reserved Name will not pass this review.
c)        Like other applied for gTLDs not passing String Similarity 
Review, there is no appeal.

·        Option 3:  Treat the terms set forth in Section 2.2.1.2.3 as 
“modified reserved names” meaning:
a)      The names are available as gTLD strings only to the International 
Olympic Committee, International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, as 
applicable.
b)      applied-for gTLD strings are reviewed during the String Similarity 
review to determine whether they are similar to those in Section 
2.2.1.2.3. An application for a gTLD string that is identified as too 
similar to a Reserved Name will not pass this review.
c)       Like other applied for gTLDs not passing String Similarity 
Review, there is no appeal.

·        Option 4a – Same as Option 2, except there would be an appeal 
process for those organizations that can demonstrate legitimate rights to 
the “reserved names.”  Appeal mechanism TBD.
·        Option 4b – Same as Option 3, except there would be an appeal 
process for those organizations that can demonstrate legitimate rights to 
the “modified reserved names.”  Appeal mechanism TBD.
 
·        Option 5a:  Same as Option 3 except that the “modified reserve 
names” are available as gTLD strings only to the International Olympic 
Committee, International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement or, to those 
entities receiving a letter of non-objection from the International 
Olympic Committee, International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement as 
applicable. 
 
·        Option 5b: Same as Option 5a but also to include entities 
receiving a letter of non-objection from a relevant government.
 
·        Option 6a: Same as Option 5a, except that there would be an 
appeal process for those entities that can demonstrate legitimate rights 
to the “modified reserved names.”  Appeal mechanism TBD.
 
·        Option 6b: Same as Option 5b, except there would be an appeal 
process for those entities that can demonstrate legitimate rights to the 
“modified reserved names.”  Appeal mechanism TBD.

Question 2.  Should the protections set forth in Question 1 apply to 
languages in addition to those set forth in the chart in Section 
2.2.1.2.3?  If yes, which additional languages? 
a)      Option 1:  No, just the languages set forth in the Applicant 
Guidebook
b)      Option 2:  Accept GAC Proposal stating asking for protection in “
multiple languages - all translations of the listed names in languages 
used on the Internet.”
c)       Option 3:  Extending protections to other languages, but a subset 
of languages.

Question 3.  Should the Protections in Questions 1 and 2 apply to 
subsequent gTLD rounds?
 
a)       Option 1:  Yes, it should apply in all future rounds
b)      Option 2:   No, it should only apply to this current round.
c)       Option 3:  It should apply in this current round with no decision 
on subsequent rounds.  We should evaluate the results of this initial 
round, document lessons learned, and then decide on recommendations on 
subsequent rounds based on the results of the evaluation.
