20(e) Provide a description of the applicant's intended registration policies in support of the community-based purpose of the applied-for gTLD

Prototypical answer:

Eligibility -
i) Reserved List
BLM will adopt the ICANN resolution and recommendations on maintaining a reserved domain list, such as reserving the list of country names and country codes. BLM will also continue to adhere to the ICANN recommendations for reserved domains coming from ICANN resolution and⁄or consensus policies.
BLM will invite all supporting Thai communities to submit additions to the list of names to be reserved. These supplemental names will serve to provide extra protection to preserve names of value within the community that may be ripe for abusive registrations.


ii) Proof of Presence

Registrant will be required to declare a ‘Proof of Presence’ stating that they are a legal entity within the Thai community.

Upon registration of a .thai domain name, a registrant must declare from where the proof of presence can be established, and what form of proof it is. A suggested list includes, but not limited to: nationality, business registration, organization, government, etc. BLM does not plan to validate the registrants’ proof-of-presence during the registration process, but rather will rely on the dispute resolution mechanism to allow interested users to dispute on the accuracy of the information.

Name selection - no restriction except for the following:
o BLM will adopt the restricted list from the Thai government authority; and
o BLM will reserve the list of geographical names as stated in the answer to Question 22.

Content⁄use – BLM will encourage and promote the use of .thai TLD for websites with contents related to Thai people, Thai language and Thai culture.
