Script of String

Latin

As per Section 3(d) of Specification 11 of the Base Registry Agreement, a registry operator of a “generic string” may not impose eligibility criteria for registering names in the TLD that limit registrations exclusively to a single person or entity and/or that person’s or entity’s “Affiliates” (as defined in Section 2.9(c) of the Registry Agreement). “Generic String” means a string consisting of a word or term that denominates or describes a general class of goods, services, groups, organizations or things, as opposed to distinguishing a specific brand of goods, services, groups, organizations or things from those of others. Confirm that the applied-for string is not a “generic string” in which the applying entity intends to limit registrations exclusively to a single person or entity.

Is the applied-for string the name of a city and, if so, is the intention to use the TLD primarily for purposes associated with the city name?

Yes

If answered yes to previous question, how will the applying entity market and/or use the TLD primarily for purposes associated with the city name?

The applying entity will market and operate the "budapest" gTLD primarily for purposes associated with the city of Budapest. Domains will be promoted to, and used by, entities and individuals connected to Budapest - local businesses, municipal and public bodies, cultural, educational and tourism institutions, media, community organisations and residents. The new "budapest" gTLD will also be a backbone of elevating the capital's digital presence in ongoing digital citizenship campaigns. Marketing will be conducted through the applying entity’s accredited registrar channel, in cooperation with the Municipality of Budapest and local stakeholders.

The applying entity has entered into a contractual agreement with the Municipality of Budapest that regulates domain registration, revocation, and long-term cooperation. Supporting documentation evidencing this intended use is provided separately as the Support Document from the Municipality of Budapest.

Is the applied-for string a geographic name as defined by it being any one of the following: a) the capital city name of a country or territory listed in the ISO 3166-1 standard; b) a city name, where it is clear from statements in the application that the applying entity intends to use the gTLD for purposes associated with the city name; c) a sub-national place name listed in the ISO 3166-2 standard; or d) Strings listed as UNESCO regions or appearing on the Geographic Regions section of the “Standard country or area codes for statistical use (M49)”
