Current Applicants[edit | edit source]
The applicants are:[1]
- Donuts (Corn Lake, LLC), a start-up registry operator that applied for 307 new gTLDs, each via a different LLC.[2] This applicant submitted a Public Interest Commitment, which can be downloaded here.
- Famous Four Media (Spring Registry Limited), a company based in Gibraltar represented by Geir Rasmussen, it has applied for 61 new gTLDs. [3] This applicant submitted a Public Interest Commitment, which can be downloaded here.
GAC Early Warning[edit | edit source]
Both applicants for .charity were issued a GAC Early Warning from the representative of Australia and GAC Chair, Heather Dryden. 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. Applicants are encouraged to work with objecting GAC members.[4] The .charity warnings note that the TLD refers to a regulated market sector but notes there are not sufficient protection mechanisms designed to prevent consumer harm.[5]
