Citigroup, applicant for [[.citi]], has filed several comments with ICANN claiming that .citi and .city are not confusingly similar. In several past [[UDRP]] cases, however, Citigroup has argued that the two words are confusingly similar, and won, leading to the suspension of domain names using "city" in a manner similar to Citigroup trademarks.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/10130-is-city-confusingly-similar-to-citi-udrp-says-yes Is .city confusingly similar to .citi?

===GAC Warning===
==Private Auction Resolves Contention==
Both Radix and TLD Registry withdrew their applications after an April 2014 [[private auction]] that was administered by [[Applicant Auction]], in which Donuts won the rights to the string.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/16566-millions-spent-on-new-gtlds-as-11-contention-sets-settled Millions spent on New gTLDs as 11 contention sets settled, DomainIncite] Retrieved 01 May 2014</ref>
==GAC Warning==
All applicants for the .city TLD were issued a [[GAC]] Early Warning; The warning system is noted as a strong recommendation on behalf of national governments to the [[ICANN Board]] that a given TLD application should be denied. Germany issued warnings to all three applicants, while Australia issued warnings to only Dot City Inc. ([[Radix]]), and [[Donuts]]' Snow Sky, LLC application. Presumably the Australian representative believes that the third applicant, [[TLD Registry Limited]] has enumerated sufficient steps to protect geographic names at the [[SLD|second level]], given that the other two complaints note this lack of protection as the reason for objection.<ref>[https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/22938690/City-AU-67099.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1353383163000 City AU, GACweb.ICANN.org]</ref>
