The application was issued a single [[GAC]] Early Warning jointly submitted by the governments of Bahrain, Oman, Qatar and UAE; 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. The warning notes that there is a lack of community involvement and support and that the applicant is trying to standardize and use a term for the body of water that is not used by the countries bordering the gulf, that is, they officially recognize it as being named the "Arabian Gulf".<ref>[https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/22938690/Persiangulf-AE-55439.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1353382537000 PersianGulf AE, GACweb.ICANN.org]</ref>
