ICANN Involvement
Brights Consulting participates in the different activities and meetings of ICANN. The company is represented by Cecilia Fernandez during the ICANN 34 International Public Meeting in Mexico [5] while Yoshitaka Murakami and Ryuji Kozu attended ICANN 38 in Paris.[6]
On May 14, 2011, the company provided comments on the Applicant Guidebook particularly on Question 22 on the current DAG which requires applicants to show how they will be able to incorporate the GAC principles for the protection of geographical TLDs in the second and other levels of TLD. Brights Consulting acknowledge the importance of protecting geo TLDs but they also asked ICANN to understand the situation of possible .brand applicants affected by the requirement. The company suggested to develop a universal solution that will allow .brand applicants to release the reserved geographic names including the two-label country codes for their exclusive internal use all at once.[7]
