===GAC Early Warning===

The applications from [[Famous Four Media]] and [[Donuts]] were both issued a [[GAC]] Early Warning by the United Kingdom. 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 27 Nov 2012</ref>

The warnings state that the application submitted in conjunction with the [[International Rugby Board]], which is the largest, officially recognized governing body for the sport, should by given priority about the other two applications. It notes that while the application was not submitted as a [[Community TLD|Community Priority Application]], it is a Community TLD, if not technically so under ICANN's rules. It recommends that the other two applicants withdraw their applications.<ref>[https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/22938690/Rugby-UK-2805.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1353453351000 Rugby UK, GACweb.ICANN.org]</ref><ref>[https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/22938690/Rugby-UK-66762.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1353453363000 Rugby UK, GACweb.ICANN.org]</ref>
