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

Prototypical answer:

Alsace Regional Council will follow the Resolution taken by the ICANN Board in Montevideo then in Accra which reserves all domain names for country and territory names contained on the ISO 3166-1 list.

Domains are reserved for the governments of the countries concerned.

The purchase process for country domains names by governments is the same as the Afilias process for .info:

1. The government or public authority concerned must inform the GAC that they have requested a registration and name the beneficiary.

2. The GAC will authenticate the request and then forward it to the ICANN and the Alsace Region.

3. The Alsace Region makes sure the domain is available and then creates an authorisation code that will be directly given to the beneficiary of the domain in the country concerned.

4. The beneficiary will register the name using his authorisation code through the accredited registrar.

Governments will be able to register as soon as the Sunrise 1 period starts.
The domains will be blocked for a 5-year period (as from the start date of Sunrise 1).
After that domains will become available for registration on a first-come, first-serve basis.
