22 Describe proposed measures for protection of geographic names at the second and other levels in the applied-for gTLD

Prototypical answer:

Due to the policy of .taipei registry, .taipei registry will reserve related geographic names (including full names and abbreviations) of Republic of China, such as names of cities, roads, and districts. These geographic names can only be registered by related departments of the government of Republic of China, and .taipei registry will validate registrations of strings we mentioned above.
To protect other geographic names, .taipei registry will block all capital city names of a country or territory listed in the ISO 3166-1 standard, city names, sub-national place names listed in the ISO 3166-2 standard, names listed in the ISO 3166-3 standard, and names listed as a UNESCO region or appearing on the“Composition of macro geographic (continental) or regions, geographic sub regions, and selected economic and other groupings” list. All these names listed above are prohibited from general registration. Only registrants from related departments of the government of Republic of China can apply to register related geographic names.
Through this policy, .taipei registry believes that the geographic names protection will avoid domain name abuse and protect rights of related governments.
