These mechanisms included objection procedures to new gTLD applications and the Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS) for second level registrations in approved new gTLDs, which were modeled after the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP).<ref><nowiki>https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/filefield_45569/igo-ingo-crp-access-charter-24jun14-en.pdf</nowiki> </ref> Temporary top- and second-level DNS protections also existed for certain organizations like the Red Cross and International Olympic Committee; they were meant to stay in place until the GNSO Council could form permanent solutions based on policy recommendations from the GNSO and advice from the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC).<ref><nowiki>https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/filefield_45569/igo-ingo-crp-access-charter-24jun14-en.pdf</nowiki> </ref> | |||
