Board Response and Scorecard
Board Action (Accept/Disagree)
The NGPC accepts this advice. The AGB provides that 'GAC advice will not toll the processing of any application (i.e., an application will not be suspended but will continue through the stages of the application process)' (AGB § 3.1). At this time, ICANN will not proceed beyond initial evaluation of these identified strings. ICANN will allow evaluation and dispute resolution processes to go forward, but will not enter into registry agreements with applicants for the identified strings, subject to the parties having reached agreement or the GAC issuing final advice prior to the close of the ICANN Public meeting in Buenos Aires.
