| + | On August 21, 2013, 23 Community Objections were terminated, leaving a few gTLD applications without any objections whatsoever. The objections were terminated by the [[ICC]] for a variety of reasons, the most common being that the applications themselves had been withdrawn. Other reasons were matching Objections by Third Parties, or in response to [[GAC]] advice.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/14262-new-gtlds-23-community-objections-withdrawn New gTLDs, 23 Community Objections Withdrawn, Domain Incite] Retrieved 12 Sept 2013</ref> |
