| After ICANN published information on its 1,930 applications it was immediately noted that some companies had applied for a number of generic terms relevant to their business, writing in their applications that they intended to be the sole registrant for the TLD. There was no [[Brand TLD]] distinction in this round, though there were guesses that ICANN would create rules for such TLDs in any future round. Thus, the closed generic terms violated no rules as developed through the [[GNSO]] process and as included in the Applicant Guidebook. Some noted that this was in fact an intentional byproduct of the program that had been considered while others disagreed.
| |
|
| |
|
| The largest applicant for closed gTLDs is [[Amazon]], and many worried that their applications to control a large number of generic terms would result in them circumnavigating traditional navigation for shopping online and give them an unfair competitive advantage. Another notable applicants with multiple applications for closed generic terms include [[L'Oréal]] and [[Google]]. In late 2012, Amazon and other companies that applied for closed-generic strings received a [[GAC]] Early Warning from GAC Chair, [[Heather Dryden]].

|
| Following further questions ICANN's New gTLD Program Committee looked at the issue and opened up a public comment period on February 5th, 2013, to ascertain opinions on what a closed generic is and what the criteria are for operating a "closed" or "open" string.

|
| In mid-February 2013, it was announced that an applicant represented by industry lawyer [[Philip Corwin]] would be contacting and lobbying lawmakers in Washington and Brussels, or raising litigation, against Google. The applicant in question remains unknown though is in contention with [[Google]] for at least one TLD. It is not in contention with Amazon. The issue at hand is the competition advantage that Google has given its search engine dominance and ability to favor its own sites and businesses in search results.
