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 proposed policy for gTLD .政府, registrants are only allowed to register strings related to the full name or abbreviation of the organization, and the full name or abbreviation of services the organization provided. Registering geographic names is banned, and the Registry will design the reserved names to protect geographic names.

To protect geographic names, the Registry will reserve 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. Unless Domain Name Committee of .政府 registry allows special registration of geographic names in particular cases, all these names listed above are prohibited from general registration

Through this policy, the Registry believes that reserving all geographic names will avoid domain name abuse and protect rights of related governments.
