==Objections==
The application recieved two [[GAC]] Early Warnings, from France and Mali. 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 26 Nov 2012</ref>

The applications are nearly identical and state that given the difficulty in promoting international public health, with cohesive legitimate programs and policies, this string has the potential to create consumer harm and confusion with regards to a fundamentally important human need. There is not remediation suggested, and the warnings suggest that the applicant withdraw its application.<ref>[https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/22938690/HealthyIDN-FR-88054.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1353451950000 HealthyIDN FR, GACweb.ICANN.org]</ref>

===ALAC Objections===
In mid-February 2013, it was noted that the [[ALAC]] had intentions to file a formal objection against [[.health]] by the end of the month, stating that "Objection statements on community grounds will be drafted for the applications for .health given that the four tests for community objection grounds were passed." Their constituents argue that the string is a sensitive topic that should be managed carefully with input and management from international health organizations. They note that none of the applicants are [[Community TLD|community based]], and that all of them represent for-profit ventures.<ref>[http://www.internetnews.me/2013/02/16/alac-to-submit-objection-against-health/ ALAC to submit Objection against Health, InternetNews.me] Published and Retrieved 17 Feb 2013</ref>
It was not immediately clear whether there would also be objection filed to the mandarin version of the TLD.

Stable Tone does intend to set aside some generic names relevant to healthy lifestyle, products and services market in both Chinese IDN and English (ASCII) second level. However, since the business model for this TLD already calls for secondary names to be sold at a high price, Stable Tone has kept any financial projections related to Premium Names to zero."<ref>[http://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus Application Download from gTLDresult.ICANN.org]</ref>
