| A [[Community TLD|community application]] was submitted by [[TLDDOT GmbH]]. The CEO of the company is the long-time ICANN participant, [[Dirk Krischenowski]]. GmbH is an acronym for the German corporate mark "Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung", which means "company with limited liability". The designation is equivalent to an LLC mark elsewhere, and it is used in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein. The applicant delineates the GmbH community along 3 layers: first, the Governments, responsible for the oversight of the title; second, Chambers and Associations, which represent whole collections of GmbH companies, and are sometimes required to exist by law; and thirdly, the GmbH companies themselves. | | A [[Community TLD|community application]] was submitted by [[TLDDOT GmbH]].
