More information:

.tax is a proposed TLD in ICANN's New gTLD Program. The applicant is Donuts (Storm Orchard, LLC).

The application 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. The warning states that the TLD refers to a regulated market but that the applicant has not provided for adequate measures to protect from consumer harm.

Governmental Advisory Committee.
