Samoa notes that it is a developing country whose income and economy is not highly diversified and fragile. Its [[ccTLD]], [[.ws]], has been marketed as a shorthand for "website" since 1999. The registry has over a million registrations and the profits from this have become an important revenue source. It fears that the introduction of ".website" would devastate this enterprise. It also believes that .website is confusingly similar to its .ws.<ref>[https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/22938690/Website-WS-47594.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1353452656000 Website WS, GACweb.ICANN.org]Retrieved 27 Nov 2012</ref>

===Radix===
Radix received a [[GAC]] Early Warning as an entire applicant, where each one of the applicants was flagged by the U.S. Government. This seems to be the only time a portfolio applicant had all of their applications warned. The issue does not deal with the technical capabilities or thematic content of their applications, but rather the inclusion of an email address associated with the US' Federal Bureau of Investigation. It seems that Radix included correspondence with this address as a recommendation with each of their applications.<ref>[https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/22938690/RadixReg-US-31.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1353452704000 RadixReg.
