===GAC Early Warning===
The applications from [[Amazon]] and [[1&1 Mail & Media GmbH]] was issued a [[GAC]] Early Warning from the representative of Australia and GAC Chair, [[Heather Dryden]]. 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 as it stands. Applicants are encouraged to work with objecting GAC members.<ref>[http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/gac-early-warning GAC Early Warning, NewgTLDS.ICANN.org] Retrieved 25 Nov 2012</ref>
The warning states that the applicant is "seeking exclusive access to a common generic string .. that relates to a broad market sector," which Ms. Dryden notes could have unintended consequences and a negative impact on competition.<ref>[https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/22938690/Mail-AU-50020.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1353429319000 Mail AU, GACweb.ICANN.org] Retrieved 25 Nov 2012</ref>
==Name Collision Concerns and Cancellation==
[[ICANN]] hired firm [[Interisle Consulting]] to carry out an independent investigation on the issues that may arise from new gTLDs that are identical to TLDs being used on internal networks. The publishing of the report sparked a community-wide debate that later became known as the [[Name Collision]] issue. The firm reported at [[ICANN 47]] that the .mail, [[.home]], and [[.corp]] gTLDs were cause for serious concern since those strings are widely in use by internal naming systems. In response to the report, [[ICANN]] labeled the three strings as "high risk" and proposed that none of the strings be delegated until it could be proven that risk is low.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/13994-new-gtlds-are-the-new-y2k-corp-and-home-are-doomed-and-everything-else-is-delayed New gTLDs are the New Y2K, Domain Incite] Retrieved 12 Sept 2013</ref>
In 2015, the IETF's DNS Operations committee began drafting an [[RFC]] with the intention of setting a standard of reserving .corp, .home, and .mail from general use, in deference to the exceedingly common use in intranets.<ref name="boardres">[https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2018-02-04-en#2.c Board Resolution regarding .mail, .home, and .corp strings], Feb. 4, 2018</ref>
On February 4, 2018, the [[ICANN Board]] issued a resolution to cease processing of all applications for the three strings. Applicants were provided a full refund of their application fee.<ref name="boardres" />
