In an August 8th interview with Radio World, Bundy played down EBU's statement by saying that, "There is no advantage the EBU has with regards to 'nonprofit' in running a Top Level Domain. If you look at VeriSign, a publicly trade for-profit corporation, running dot-com and at PIR (Public Interest Registry), a nonprofit corporation that operates dot-org, to the end user there is very little difference... with regards to price, polices and usage."<ref name="radioworld-2">[http://www.radioworld.com/article/battle-for-dot-radio-part-ii/214838 Battle for Dot-Radio: Part II], RadioWorld.com.

According to ICANN rules, applicants with a "community" designation -- those who operate its proposed new gTLD for the benefit of a 'clearly designated community' -- will automatically receive "precedence for designation". If EBU can prove to ICANN's new gTLD review panel that it represents an entire community and does not lose the "community" designation due to challenges from other parties, it will automatically be the chosen bidder for .radio. Otherwise, .radio will be rewarded to the highest bidder through an auction process.<ref name="radioworld-3">[http://www.rwonline.com/article/kleiman-us-radio-should-get-involved-in-%E2%80%98dot-radio-discussion/216383 Kleiman: U.S. Radio Should Get Involved in 'Dot-Radio' Discussion], RWOnline.com.
