More information:

.香格里拉 is an IDN Brand TLD being proposed in ICANN's New gTLD Program. The applicant is Shangri-La International Hotel Management Limited.[1] It translates as "shangrila" from Hant Chinese, which is a county in China.

The application was issued a GAC Early Warning. The warning system is noted as a strong recommendation on behalf of national governments to the ICANN Board that a given TLD application should be denied as it stands. Applicants are encouraged to work with objecting GAC members.[2]

The warning states that the string refers to a Chinese county and as such is a GeoTLD, which requires government support. The Chinese government does not support the application.[3]

.香格里拉 是一个国际化品牌顶级域名。该域名已被纳入ICANN 的新通用顶级域名计划。申请人为香格里拉国际酒店管理有限公司。

政府咨询委员会(GAC)在该申请提出早期提出了警告。警告一旦提出,则被视为由国家级政府向ICANN董事会提出建议将申请否决。该警告认为【.香格里拉】系列域名指向中国某一特定区域,因此应该是地域性域名。而地域性域名需要有政府支持。中国政府并没有对该域名申请表示支持。
