Work Efforts

The GAC regularly considers a broad range of public policy issues impacting the DNS and other matters regarding the functions of ICANN. This work can result in consensus advice for the ICANN Board or public comment guidance to the ICANN community. This part of the website shares information related to those ongoing topics and activities.

Opt-out from Notifications on Two-Character SLDs Release Requests

Do you wish to sign-up or opt-out from receiving the notifications?

Sign-up or opt-out at www.icann.org: GAC member representatives can if they wish receive direct email notification of new requests posted for comment weekly or daily. See ‘How-To-Subscribe-Guide’ at: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/two-character-labels-subscribe-20feb15-en.pdf. (Many ccTLD administrative contacts also chose to receive direct email notifications of new requests posted for comment so that they can contact relevant governments about them).

The following table shows those two-character labels at the second level corresponding to country codes for which the responsible government has advised the GAC that notification of applications to use these codes at the second level need not be made to the government concerned; or that particular conditions apply to some categories of applications. This is in accordance with the GAC Communiqué from the Singapore meeting of 11 February 2015, and the ICANN Board Resolution that acted on GAC's advice.

Governments wishing to opt-out from receiving any notifications on requests by new gTLD operators to release two-character label at the second level corresponding to a country code:
