===SportAccord===
The community application comes from [[Sport Accord]], and it has engaged the International Sports Federations and the International Olympic Committee to comprise a Policy Advisory Board (PAB). "[R]egistrants in .sport must be recognized performers, organizers, promoters or supporters of federated Sport, or belong to categories of registrants recognized by the .sport Policy Advisory Board (PAB)." The Olympic Committee has previously been involved in discussions in [[ICANN]] regarding universal protections for its trademarks across all new gTLDs.

==String Confusion Objection==
[[SportAccord]] won a String Confusion Objection it submitted to the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR), asserting that .sport and [[.sports]] were confusingly similar. [[Donuts]] was the only applicant for [[.sports]] and will now be in contention for [[.sport]] as panelist [[M Scott Donahey]] sided with [[SportAccord]]. The decision was made in part because the word "sport" is also a collective noun, making it synonymous in some cases with the word "sports."<ref>[http://domainincite.com/14268-panel-says-sport-and-sports-are-confusingly-similar Panel says .sport and .sports are confusingly similar, Domain Incite] Retrieved 25 Sept 2013</ref>
