RESOLUTION HANDED DOWN BY THE GENERAL MANAGER OF PUBLIC BUSINESS ENTITY RED.ES MODIFYING THE LIST OF TERMS PROHIBITED OR RESERVED FOR SECOND-LEVEL “.ES” DOMAIN NAMES.
Ramón Palacio León, General Manager of public business entity Red.es (hereinafter, “RED.ES”), under the fourth provision of the Instruction of the Chairman of Red.es, dated 12 September 2005, approving the lists of terms prohibited or reserved for second-level “.es” domain names.
WHEREAS
ONE.- The National Plan for Domain Names using the country code corresponding to Spain (“.es”), approved by Order ITC/1542/2005, of 19 May, and published in the Official State Gazette of 31 May 2005 (hereinafter, the “Domain Plan”), provided for the approval of three lists detailing the terms prohibited or reserved for second-level “.es” domain names by the Chairman of RED.ES.
The list of terms included in each of the aforementioned lists was approved by the Instruction of the Chairman of RED.ES, dated 12 September 2005, approving the lists of terms prohibited or reserved for second-level “.es” domain names (hereinafter, “Instruction of 12 September 2005”).
The first of the lists, laid down in sub-section 2 of the seventh provision of the Domain Plan, includes a reduced and updated index of Internet terms whose use in second-level “.es” domain names is prohibited due to their potential to cause confusion. The second, laid down in sub-section 3 of the same provision, grants reserved status to a list of second-level “.es” domain names that may not be freely assigned as they relate to the names of constitutional bodies, other State institutions and officially accredited international and supranational organisations, and, as such, must be reserved. The third and final list, laid down in sub-section 4 of the aforementioned provision, is an updated list of second-level “.es” domain names consisting of toponyms that coincide with the official designations of territorial public administrations and, as such, must be reserved and cannot be freely assigned.
TWO.- The Chairman of RED.ES, by Resolution dated 21 October 2005, delegated to the General Manager of RED.ES, the powers to establish the procedures for assignment and other operations associated with the registration of domain names and Internet addresses using the country code corresponding to Spain (“.es”).
THREE.- The Instruction of 12 December 2005 provides, in its fourth provision, that the lists may be updated by resolution of the General Manager of RED.ES, by means of which the terms deemed appropriate to guarantee the efficacy and compliance of said lists shall be included or deleted.
FOUR.- Based on its accumulated experience of carrying out the task of registering “.es” domain names since the approval of the lists by the Instruction of 12 September 2005, the Assignment Authority recommends that the “.es” domain names included in the lists should be updated, adding new terms in order to fulfil the purposes referred to in the previous paragraph.
FIVE.- Specifically, firstly, it has become necessary to grant reserved status to a series of terms relating to the Royal Household. Secondly, as was done in the National Plan for Internet Domain Names using the country code corresponding to Spain (“.es”), approved by Order CTE/662/2003 of 18 March, Official Gazette of 26 March 2003, it has become necessary to grant reserved status to second-level “.es” domain names composed exclusively of a toponym or demonym corresponding to a continent, country or territory that appears on the ISO 3166-1 list. It is, therefore, appropriate to add the terms that appear on said ISO 3166-1 list that have not yet been assigned or are vacant to the third list provided for in the Domain Plan, containing second-level “.es” domain names which may not be freely assigned, and which coincide with the official name of territorial public administrations. These “.es” domain names may only be assigned to the duly accredited diplomatic office of the corresponding country or territory in Spain.
In view of the above,
AGREES
ONE.- To add the terms relating to the Royal Household included in Annex 1 of this Resolution to the list of second-level “.es” domain names that may not be freely assigned because they relate to constitutional bodies, other State institutions and officially accredited international and supranational organisations and have not been previously assigned or remain available, as approved by the second provision of the Instruction of 12 September 2005.
TWO.- To add the toponyms and demonyms included in the ISO 3166-1 list and their corresponding translation into Spanish to the list of second-level “.es” domain names that may not be freely assigned because they coincide with the official names of territorial public administrations and have not been previously assigned or remain available, as approved by the third provision of the Instruction of 12 September 2005. These “.es” domain names may only be assigned to the duly accredited diplomatic office of the corresponding country or territory in Spain.
Madrid, 28 June 2006.
