===ICANN Board Decisions===
Since the [[GAC]] provided individual government's advice on this TLD and not a [[GAC]] consensus objection, [[ICANN Board]] Chair [[Steve Crocker]] asked the GAC to provide further consensus advice on the application. However, after the conclusion of [[ICANN 48]] in Buenos Aires, GAC Chair [[Heather Dryden]] wrote to Mr. Crocker informing him that the GAC would provide no further advice on the [[.islam]] and .halal strings. This means that the ICANN Board will now have to decide the fate of the application without strong consensus advice from GAC.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/15259-icann-will-have-to-make-a-call-on-islam ICANN will have to make a call on .islam, DomainIncite] Retrieved 09 Dec 2013</ref>
In February 2014, Mr. Crocker wrote to the applicant saying that the [[NGPC]] will not review the application further until an agreement has been reached between the applicant and the Organization for Islamic Cooperation. This effectively puts the application on hold until the applicant can gain support from the objecting governments and organizations.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/15774-icann-puts-islam-and-other-gtld-bids-in-limbo ICANN Puts .islam and other gTLD Bids in Limbo, DomainIncite] Retrieved 10 Feb 2014</ref>
===Community Objection===
The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of the United Arab emirates The Gulf Cooperation Council filed a [[Community Objection|community objection]] against this application.<ref>[http://www.iccwbo.org/products-and-services/arbitration-and-adr/expertise/icann-new-gtld-dispute-resolution/pending-cases/ Pending Cases, ICC.ICANN.org]Retrieved 15 May 2013</ref> However, the applicant prevailed and the objection was dismissed by the [[ICC]]. The determination was published on 4 November 2013.<ref>[http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/odr/determination Objection Determinations, ICANN.org] Retrieved 05 Nov 2013</ref>
===PIC===
The applicant subsequently submitted a [[PIC|Public Interest Commitment]] (PIC), which, in part, states:
"a. Registry Operator does its outmost to ensure that WHOIS data is verified, authentic and publicly accessible.<br>
b. Registry Operator does its most to limit second-level domain registrations to those of Muslim faith, or those with a clear interest in serving the Muslim community and faith beneficially.<br>
c. Registry Operator will not tolerate any illegitimate and non-legal activity such as terrorism, online counterfeiting and piracy, radical content, content that criticizes Islam and the Muslim faith. Immediate and severe action will be taken against registrants promulgating either, and a black list will be created in an attempt to pre-empt any such attempts. Registry operator will fully cooperate with any authorities that have jurisdiction over it in this regards.<br>
d. While the Registry Operator cannot guaranty to prevent all illegitimate and non-legal activities, but will do all possible or utmost to prevent these activities by implementing protection measures for registrations to ensure an abuse free environment whilst maintaining choice."<ref>[https://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus/applicationdetails/12 PIC Download, gTLDresult.ICANN.org] Retrieved 12 March 2013</ref>
