===The EBU===
During [[ICANN 44]] in Prague, the EBU requested permission to become a recognized observer in [[ICANN]]'s [[GAC|Governmental Advisory Committee]] (GAC). This move raised questions of conflicts of interest, given that GAC's advice is to be strongly considered by the [[ICANN Board]] during application proceedings.<ref name="radiogac"></ref>

Critics have cited EBU's own Code of Ethics, which contains a "Conflict of Interest" section, as supporting evidence that EBU should not be given an advantage for [[.radio]].<ref>[http://radioforward.com/ebugac/ European Broadcast Union & Governmental Advisory Committee], RadioForward.com.</ref> The Code of Ethics can be seen [[http://www3.ebu.ch/files/live/sites/ebu/files/About/EBU%20Code%20of%20Ethics.pdf here]].

===Community Application===
The EBU's application is a [[Community TLD|Community Priority Application]]. The EBU is the largest international association of national broadcasters, and it counts the World Broadcasting Unions (WBU), the Association Mondiale des Radiodiffuseurs Communautaires (AMARC) among its supporters. It intends to support local and national radio programs, online radios and podcasts that maintain consistent programming, and amateur radio broadcasters. Membership validation will depend on in what way the applicant participates and has been registered within the broadcasting community.<ref>Application 1-1083-39123</ref>
