names of a country or territory listed in the ISO 3166-1 standard as follows:
A prospective registrant applying to register a domain name identical to thecapital city name of a listed country or territory will receive a CCC notification
highlighting that fact. The applicant must then agree to comply with all
requirements as to representations and warranties requested by the Registry
Operator as notified to them by ICANN, GAC or the official designate of thecountry or territory in order to protect the reputation of the city as well asother relevant terms. From time to time,
Registry Operator will send a notification in writing to the ICANN Government
Advisory Committee (″GAC″) Chair advising on all capital city names
registered. This process also applies during Sunrise and Landrush.
