"A million and a half domain names, including many potential valuable three and four-letter strings, have been been given special protection across all gTLDs under a new ICANN policy."
"The long-discussed, highly controversial reservation of the names and acronyms of various intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations has become official ICANN Consensus Policy and will be binding on all gTLD registries and registrars from August this year."
"Protected strings run from obscurities such as “europeanbankforreconstructionanddevelopment” and “internationalunionfortheprotectionofnewvarietiesofplants” to “can”, “eco” and “fao”."
"Nobody’s losing their domains... But if any are deleted, they must be clawed back and reserved by the registry."
"All gTLDs, including legacy TLDs such as .com, are affected by the policy."
"The full list of protected strings can be found here."
