Also, a domain name must not aim to cause or result in confusion in the minds of the relevant public regarding any individual or legal entity.

Domain names must not harm national security, public order, the interests of the state and public authorities, or be contrary to morality and decency. They also must not infringe upon religion, language, culture, political opinions, or use racially offensive terms.[2]
