==Objection==
==Objection==
The application was subject to a single [[GAC]] early warning issued jointly by the representatives of Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, and UAE; 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. The warning notes that, "GCC is a known abbreviation for Gulf Cooperation Council. The GCC is a political and economic union of the Arab states bordering the Arabian Gulf, namely Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates."<ref>[https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/22938690/GCC-AE-21010.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1353382663000 GCC AE, GACweb.ICANN.org]</ref>

===Official Objection===
An official Legal Rights Objection was filed by The Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf, known as the GCC, against the applicant.<ref>[http://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/lro/cases/ LRO Cases, WIPO.int]</ref>
A Legal Rights Objection, as defined by the ICANN approved mediator, [[WIPO]], is when, "third parties may file a formal objection to an application on several grounds, including, for trademark owners and Intergovernmental Organizations (IGOs) [..] When such an objection is filed, an independent panel (comprised of one or three experts) will determine whether the applicant’s potential use of the applied-for gTLD would be likely to infringe [..] the objector’s existing trademark, or IGO name or acronym."<ref>[http://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/lro/ LRO, WIPO.int] Retrieved 25 March 2013</ref>
==Independent Objector==
==Independent Objector==
The [[Independent Objector]] (IO) is a non-partisan, contracted appointee whose role was mandated by the applicant guidebook for [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program]], and who is responsible for officially objecting to new gTLDs that are dangerous to the public good. This process also involves reviewing "controversial applications," those that have received significant public comments, and investigating whether a public need for objection is provided for tin these comments. Thus, the Independent Objector issued a preliminary report on .gcc, he notes that the acronym is a direct copy of the Golf Cooperation Council and that the Applicant does not have the support of the intergovernmental organization and finds that the application is contrary to international public order because of this. The IO goes on to conclude, however, that it does not seem his role to object to the application given that he is a safety net, and that the GCC and its respective countries are able to file formal objections that would constitute objections by a significant portion of the community needed to halt the [[.gcc]] TLD.<ref>[http://www.independent-objector-newgtlds.org/english-version/the-independent-objector-s-comments-on-controversial-applications/gcc-general-comment/ The Independent Objectors Comments on Controversial Applications, Independent-Objector-NewgTLDs.org] Retrieved 5 Mar 2013</ref>
