Dot Coop submitted a request to ICANN to allow the organization to allocate one and two character domain names under the .coop domain space through an RFP process on May 27, 2008. In it's letter to ICANN, DotCoop cited the RSTEP report, GNSO Names Working Group Recommendation and the approval of the releases of two-character domain names for [[.jobs]] in support for its request. The [[RSTEP]] reported that the release of two-character domain names does not create reasonable risk to the security and stability of the DNS while the [[GNSO]] Reserve Names Working Group recommended that registries may request the release of two-character domain names as long as procedures to avoid confusions with any corresponding [[ccTLD]]s will be implemented<ref>
