At one point, there were two entities vying for support of their .bayern proposals: [[Bayern Connect]] and [[dotBayern]]. The former recieved government support and was thus able to apply for the [[TLD]] with ICANN. [[Minds + Machines]] was selected to run the registry, and its parent company [[Top Level Domain Holdings]] is the majority owner of [[Bayern Connect]]. It was one of the first companies to announce a state-centric TLD bid. <ref>[http://htl.li/1gPHZr Minds + Machines works with .bayern, CircleID.com]</ref><ref>[http://www.bayernconnect.com/2012/01/hhha/ BayernConnect.com]</ref>
