If the Registrant refuses or is unable to provide verifiable evidence of this consent when asked by the Registry Authority, this may lead to the blocking or cancellation of the domain name.
• Generic Names of specific relevance
  • Generic Names that refer to activities, sectors or resources which due to their specific relevance may provide the registrant with an unfair competitive advantage, or that may create consumer confusion detrimental to the public interest. Said names may only be registered by the representative bodies overseeing a concrete sector or activity, or by a registrant that has the specific endorsement from said body, and need be, in any case, validated by the Registry Operator.
  • During the first six months of General Availability, the Registry Authority reserves the right to conduct pre-evaluation screening of the .madrid domain names that may fall under the provisions of Generic Names of Specific Relevance before their allocation. Pre-evaluations will be conducted during the first 5 working days after application or registration.
