==Community Objection==
The [[Republican National Committee]], which applied for [[.gop]], filed a [[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, ICCWBO.org] Retrieved 14 May 2013</ref> The objection failed in January 2014 after a ruling by [[ICC]] panelist Brigitte Stern. This clears the way for the applicant to continue its path towards delegation.<ref>[http://domainnamewire.com/2014/01/07/republican-national-committee-loses-fight-over-republican/ RNC loses Fight over .republican, DomainNameWire.com] Retrieved 09 Jan 2014</ref>
