GAC Early Warnings[edit | edit source]

The application was issued three GAC Early Warnings, from The United States, Australia, and India. 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.

Application Details[edit | edit source]

The following is excerpted from the applicant's response to question #18:

"For thousands of years, devoted men and women have served their countries in the naval forces branch of military service. Global in scope, the millions of individuals who share a bond created by service in the navy are a large and passionate group. The mission and purpose of the .navy TLD is to establish an easily recognized and accessible namespace for the universe of naval veterans, active duty personnel, family members, and supportive organizations and civilians.

The .navy TLD is proposed by United TLD Holdco Ltd. (“United TLD”), a well-funded company established by highly experienced domain industry executives for the express purpose of securing the rights to operate a portfolio of TLDs that increase choice, expression, affinity and relevance for millions of consumers, businesses and other organizations on the web.

nited TLD will be inclusive in its registration policies for this broad and generic TLD. We will not limit registrant eligibility for second-level registrations and will provide registration services to all legitimate registrants. However, we may elect to reserve and hold back certain strings from second-level registration at the time we launch the TLD.

We will not tolerate illegal activity in this TLD and will have strict policies and enforcement that provide for takedown or other appropriate forms of remedy. United TLD will adhere to and uphold all ICANN-required registration policies and comply with the requirements of the registration policy portion of the Registry Agreement."[7]
