Radix[edit | edit source]
Radix received a GAC Early Warning as an entire applicant, where each one of the applicants was flagged by the U.S. Government. This seems to be the only time a portfolio applicant had all of their applications warned. The issue does not deal with the technical capabilities or thematic content of their applications, but rather the inclusion of an email address associated with the US' Federal Bureau of Investigation. It seems that Radix included correspondence with this address as a recommendation with each of their applications.[7]
Private Deal[edit | edit source]
Radix won the rights to the string in a Private auction that was conducted in November 2014. Radix formed a new joint venture with former applicants Tucows and NameCheap in order to win the private auction and run the new gTLD.[8]
