Public Comment: One & Two-Character .CAT Domains

18 December 2009
ICANN is today opening a public comment forum on a proposed amendment from 
Fundacio puntCAT to Appendix 6 of the .CAT Registry Agreement.

On 19 October 2009, ICANN posted for public information a request submitted by 
puntCAT through the Registry Services Evaluation Process for a request for 
proposals process to release single and two-character names in .CAT. The 
puntCAT proposal is available at 
http://www.icann.org/en/registries/rsep/puntcat-request-19oct09-en.pdf [PDF, 
57K].

As provided for by existing consensus policy 
(http://www.icann.org/en/registries/rsep/rsep.html), ICANN has undertaken a 
preliminary determination to determine whether the proposal might raise 
significant security or stability, or competition issues. ICANN's determination 
is that the proposal did not raise such issues in .CAT.

[Note that, from 13 June to 13 July 2008, ICANN conducted a public comment 
forum on a proposed single-character second-level domain names allocation 
framework 
(http://www.icann.org/en/registries/rsep/proposed-scsld-allocation-framework-13jun08.htm),
 which supported the allocation single-character second-level domain names in 
existing registries and reviewed various allocation methods.]

The proposal requires an amendment the .CAT Schedule of Reserved Names 
(Appendix 6). A copy of the proposed amendment is available here [PDF, 192K]. 
Comments on the proposed amendment submitted to cat-scsld-amendment at 
icann.org will be considered until 17 Jan 2010 23:59 UTC. Comments may be 
viewed at http://forum.icann.org/lists/cat-scsld-amendment/.
