The Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information from the United States Department of Commerce send a letter to ICANN, on April 2, stating United States government’s views on the USPS objections to the applications for the .mail Generic Top Level Domain.
The Assistant Secretary said that the objections filed by the United States Postal Service (USPS) to the seven applications for the proposed new generic top level domain, .mail, are not supported by the coordinated view of the United States Government (USG). Consistent with the multistakeholder model, the USG will present its coordinated views to the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) as it forms its consensus advice to the ICANN Board on these matters.
