Oh, interesting, yes this is "mauritius" in Spanish a not so common name. I didn't know this, thank you for pointing it out. I guess that list is recent as mauricio.com and mauricio.co belongs to regular people and are currently working.

Do you happen to have a link to said list? A quick googling returned nothing relevant for me.



.com is a legacy gTLD, which existed long before these restrictions were codified in 2012 for the new gTLD program. .co is a ccTLD (it's for Colombia), and ccTLDs also predate the gTLD program and are not subject to the gTLD program restrictions besides.


I believe item #3 on this page is relevant:

Yeah that's it, it's Mauritius in Spanish apparently.

ICANN definitely went overboard on these required reservations, but of course we have no choice but to comply.
