Objection[edit | edit source]
Saudi Arabia's Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) filed an objection against the TLD.[4] The country is not part of the GAC and therefore cannot issue a GAC Early Warning.
All of the applications for .casino were 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.[5] One such warning, for Donuts' application, notes that the string is associated with a regulated market sector and that there are not currently sufficient protection mechanisms in place to prevent consumer harm.[6]
