ICANN's Governmental Advisory Committee does not plan to advise against the release of two-character domain names in new gTLDs.
Under the standard Registry Agreement for new gTLD registries, all two-character domains(any combination of letters, numbers) must not be sold or activated in the DNS.
The ban was designed to avoid the clashes with 2-letter ccTLD codes.
ICANN left the door open for registries to request the release of such names and many companies have formally applied to do so via the Registry Services Evaluation Process.
