When determining whether the RSEP request could raise significant competition issues, a review is necessary. The stages and steps followed are listed below:
#The General Counsel reviews the request for determining whether the RSEP request could raise significant competition issues. The following factors are taken into consideration: 
#*The pricing influence over the price of registry service;
#*Market issues: identification of the market which could be affected, and the effects of the change;
#*Allocation issues
#*Impact on other markets
# Preliminary determination on competition issues by the General Council
# If no competition issues are determined, the competition review is considered complete. 
# If there are significant competition issues determined by [[ICANN]] or RSEP request, the appropriate competition authority will be contacted and the jurisdiction applied.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/registries/rsep/prelim-competition-issues-en.htm Analysis of the RESP request regarding significant competition issues]</ref>
