Public Comment: One & Two-Character Names in dot-travel

10 June 2008

A new public comment period opens today for 30 days on a proposed amendment 
from Tralliance to Appendix 6 and 7 of the dot-travel Registry Agreement.

On 18 May 2009, ICANN posted for public information a request submitted by 
Tralliance through the Registry Services Evaluation Process (RSEP). The request 
calls for a phased allocation process for one and two-character names in 
dot-travel.

The Tralliance proposal is available at 
http://www.icann.org/registries/rsep/travel-18may09-en.pdf<http://www.icann.org/en/registries/rsep/travel-18may09-en.pdf>.

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

[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 to the dot-travel Schedule of Reserved Names 
(Appendix 6) and a description of the phased allocation program is proposed to 
be inserted in Section 9 of Appendix 7. A copy of the proposed contract 
amendment is available 
here<http://www.icann.org/en/tlds/agreements/travel/proposed-amendment-10jun09.pdf>
 [PDF, 20K]. Comments on the proposed amendment may be submitted to 
tralliance-amendment at icann.org<mailto:tralliance-amendment@xxxxxxxxx> 
through 10 July 2009 23:59 UTC. Comments may be viewed at 
http://forum.icann.org/lists/tralliance-amendment/.
