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

Prototypical answer:

 
H. Lundbeck A⁄S is not currently planning to utilise geographic names at the second and other levels in the applied-for gTLD. However, and notwithstanding the absence of geographic names in H. Lundbeck A⁄S forward planning and use intentions, H. Lundbeck A⁄S has considered the requirements necessary should it, at a later date, seek to obtain ICANN approval for the use of geographic names as follows:


Registry Agreement - Specification 5 criteria


§2 The reservation of two-character label string may be released to the extent that Registry Operator reaches agreement with the government and the country-code manager. The Registry Operator may also propose release of these reservations based on its implementation of measures to avoid confusion with the corresponding country names.

§5… the reservation of specific country and territory names may be released to the extent that the Registry Operator reaches agreement with the applicable government(s), provided, further, that Registry Operator may also propose release of these reservations, subject to review by ICANN’s Governmental Advisory Committee and approval by ICANN.
