→New gTLD Program Disqualification Request for Employ Media
In March, 2012, the Chinese government announced that it would require all gTLD applicants to apply and receive a permit from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology before applying to ICANN. Required information includes details on their services, their contingency plans, and their trademark protection and anti-abuse procedures, and other related information. This will be required of any gTLD, with further hurdles in place to receive government support for [[GeoTLD]]s.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/china-cracks-down-on-new-gtld-applicants/ China Cracks Down on New gTLD Applicants, DomainIncite.com]</ref>
