===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>

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>
