Applicants[edit | edit source]

  1. Radix (DotMedico TLD Inc.), .doctor is one of 31 applications submitted by the company, which has chosen ARI Registry Services as its backend technical provider.[1]
  2. Donuts (Brice Trail, LLC)- This is one of the companies created by Donuts, which applied for 307 new gTLDs under different company names. The company invested $56 million in application fees alone. Daniel Schindler, co-founder and EVP for Marketing and Sales, is the primary contact person in the application. [2]
  3. The Medical Registry Limited -the contact person in the application is Mr. Sloan Daniel Gaon.


Donuts[edit | edit source]

The application for .doctor from Donuts was 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.[3] The warning notes that the TLD refers to a regulated market though Donuts did not include sufficient mechanisms to prevent consumer harm in its application.[4] None of the other two applicants received a GAC Early Warning.
