This issue is one of those areas where the best advice is to simply
stand back, take a deep breath, and let common sense and wisdom
occupy the driver's seat. Anything else involves construction a
convoluted. complex, incomplete, and flawed basis for doing
something exceptional, and an exceptional that will be fraught with
problems with respect to rationale, policies, and implementation. <br>

Farzaneh put the case to rest in a short simple sentence<font
face="Verdana,sans-serif">: </font><font color="#660000">"There
is no legitimate reason for governments to claim ownership over
pronouns and other generic two letter domain names." <br>
<br>
<font color="#000000">That ng.com might be confused with com.ng
(for a nonosecond) is no more a valid reason than arguing that
President's Choice food products (in Canada) need a name change
because someone might think that they are recommended by Donald
Trump. I might add that Opium perfume and Canoe cologne contain
neither opium nor canoes, but the names are allowed to stand.
Words, and even two letter sequences, only have meaning in
context, and there is no legitimate context for ownership claims
here.<br>

To cite a Turkish cityTLD domain name, we should not suffer <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://bullshit.ist/">bullshit.ist</a>
arguments for arbitrary capture of two letter second level
domain names. <br>
<br>
There is no need for a committee here. ..... full stop.<br>
