 +
The application was issued a [[GAC]] Early Warning from the representative of Australia and GAC Chair, [[Heather Dryden]]. The warning system is noted as a strong recommendation on behalf of national governments to the [[ICANN Board]] that a given TLD application should be denied as it stands. Applicants are encouraged to work with objecting GAC members.<ref>[http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/gac-early-warning GAC Early Warning, NewgTLDS.ICANN.org] Retrieved 25 Nov 2012</ref>

The warning states that the TLD refers to a regulated market but that the applicant has not provided for adequate measures to protect from consumer harm.<ref>[https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/22938690/Engineering-AU-74788.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1353389472000 Engineering AU, GACweb.ICANN.org] Retrieved 25 Nov 2012</ref>

===Application Details===
 +
Many of [[Donuts]]' applications, including this one, seem to have been applied for using the same boiler-plate application in which the TLD is defined as a means of providing greater expression on the Internet and will be an open TLD without pre-registration policies. It notes its plans to adhere with all registration policies required by ICANN and its intent to have remediation and takedown policies clearly defined to fit within these requirements. Pre-registration verification will not be used and this as defined as causing "cause more harm than benefit by denying domain access to legitimate registrants." They intend to control abuse through "extensive user and rights protections."<ref>[http://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus/applicationdetails/887 ApplicationDetails, gTLDresult.ICANN.org]Retrieved 12 Dec 2012</ref>
 +
 
 +
===Contract Signed===
 +
On 06 March 2014, [[Donuts]] received a [[Registry Agreement]] signed by [[ICANN]] for .engineering after passing all the required processes needed to become a [[Registry Operator]] for the string.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/registries Registry Agreements, ICANN.org] Retrieved 15 April 2014</ref>
 +
 
 +
==Delegation and Availability==
 +
.engineering was delegated to the [[Root Zone]] of the [[DNS]] on 11 April, 2014, completing the successful application for the string.<ref name="delegation"></ref>
