Trademark Clearinghouse 4.1 Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 2.8 of the Agreement, Section 1 of Specification 7 to the Agreement and Section 2 of the Trademark Clearinghouse Rights Protection Mechanism Requirements (the “TMCH Requirements”), Registry Operator is not required to provide a Sunrise Period (as defined in the TMCH Requirements) or, except as set forth herein, otherwise comply with the obligations set forth in Section 2 of the TMCH Requirements (collectively, the “Sunrise Requirements”) so long as the TLD continues to be qualified as a .Brand TLD by ICANN.
4.2 Registry Operator must comply with all other provisions of the TMCH Requirements, including completing the Integration Testing required by Section 1 of the TMCH Requirements and providing the Claims Services required by Section 3 of the TMCH Requirements. Registry Operator will provide ICANN (i) confirmation of completion of Integration Testing and (ii) notice of the start date (the “Claims Commencement Date”) and end date for the Claims Period (as defined in the TMCH Requirements) for the TLD, in each case via the customer services portal at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/. Registry Operator may not Allocate (as defined in the TMCH Requirements) or register a domain name in the TLD (except for “NIC” and self-‐allocation or registration to itself of domain names pursuant to Section 3.2 of Specification 5) prior to the Claims Commencement Date.
4.3 Registry Operator must comply with the Sunrise Requirements effective as of the Disqualification Date and commence a Sunrise Period within 60 calendar days of the Disqualification Date. If, at the Disqualification Date, the Trademark Clearinghouse or any successor or alternative trademark validation authority appointed by ICANN is not in operation, Registry Operator must implement the Sunrise Requirements through an alternative mechanism developed by Registry Operator that is reasonably acceptable to ICANN. As of the Disqualification Date, Registry Operator may not Allocate or register any additional domain names to third parties prior to the Allocation or registration of all Sunrise Period registrations except as permitted by Section 2.2.4 of the TMCH Requirements. In the event ICANN develops an alternative version of the TMCH Requirements specifically for .Brand TLDs or former .Brand TLDs, Registry Operator agrees to comply with such alternative requirements if such requirements are similar to the TMCH Requirements in effect as of the date hereof as modified by this Specification 13.
Applications To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.
