Geographic Names, IDN TLDs, Reserved Names, and Strings Subject to Category 1 Safeguards strings will initiate specific processing and evaluation procedures. In the AGB, Category 1 Safeguards are implemented through mandatory Safeguard Public Interest Commitments (Safeguard PICs) assigned based on the applied-for string's safeguard group and incorporated into Specification 11 of the Base Registry Agreement.<ref name="agb" />

At the moment, Closed Generics, defined as "a string consisting of a word or term that denominates or describes a general class of goods, services, groups, organizations or things, as opposed to distinguishing a specific brand of goods, services, groups, organizations or things from those of others", are not accepted.

=== Pre-Submission String Validations ===

Certain validations on the primary and variant strings, including replacement strings, are automatically incorporated into and implemented via TAMS. If a string fails one of the validations or a match is found, the applicant will receive an error or warning message in TAMS explaining the detected issues and will not be allowed to proceed and submit its application or will have to provide additional documentation. Applicants will be able to enter their string in TAMS to check whether there is a match.
