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

Prototypical answer:

Given the fact that the .deloitte TLD will serve a global network of local member firms based in over 140 countries, the Applicant has a vested interest in providing that network’s visitors, clients and business partners a clear and predictable taxonomy that may include geographic names (country names, city names, names of regions, etc.).

If such domain names ultimately are registered, the Applicant will do so considering the following confines:

(i) these domain names will be exclusively registered in the name of the Applicant’s currently contemplated Registrant, DTT; and
(ii) where consents are required prior to the registration and use of a domain name in accordance with Specification 5 of the Registry Agreement, the Applicant will obtain such consents before actually registering, delegating and using such domain name.

In any case the registration, delegation and use of domain names corresponding to geographic names will at all times be done in the best interest of the Applicant and the Deloitte member firms.
