>   > requested Red Cross and IOC names for the top level only during the
>   > initial application round, until the GNSO and GAC develop policy
>   > advice based on the global public interest....."
>   >
>   > During September 2011, the GAC also sent advice to the GNSO with a
>   > proposal for granting second level protections based upon the
>   > protections afforded to IOC/RCRC at the first level. In the same
>   > month, section
>   > 2.2.1.2.3 was added to the latest version of the new gTLD Applicant
>   > Guidebook dated 19 September 2011.
