<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Coming back to this thread, there was an expression to see
references to the ICANN Board’s decisions on this topic. From
what I can tell there was a discussion on the topic of “Category
1 Safeguards for Highly Regulated Strings” on the February 5th
meeting of the New gTLD Program Committee (NGPC) of the ICANN
Board. It looks like there was no resolution taken during that
meeting (<a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-new-gtld-2015-02-05-en" target="_blank">https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-new-gtld-2015-02-05-en</a>).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, there was a reference to that meeting in another
meeting that took place on February 12th, in which the NGPC
seemed to agree on <i><b>“</b></i><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><font color="#333333"><span style="line-height:22.399999618530273px"><i><b>staff to continue to move

<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’m not sure what resolution was being referred to, as the
report of the February 5th meeting indicated that there were no
resolutions taken.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’ll provide any updated info I come across.</div>

</div>
<div>Thanks.</div>
