In your view, how should the term “geographic name” be defined for the purposes of the New gTLD Program? Should there be any special requirements or implications for a term that is considered a “geographic name”? Is “geographic name” the appropriate term to use in this context, as opposed to, for example, “term with geographic meaning”? Why or why not</span></p>

!important; float: none;">Proposed ALAC response: A clear
definition of "geographic name" is certainly lacking in this
discussion. Perhaps what is needed is to separate "man-made"
places from natural features. In practice, most geographic
names that the AGB covers, and that have been discussed in WT
5, refer to some sort of inhabited administrative units of any
size that are clearly delimited in area and that are under one
political authority. ( UNESCO regions are an exception).<span> </span></span><br style="font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial,
