The application was subject to a [[GAC]] Early Warning from Nigeria. 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.<ref>[http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/gac-early-warning GAC Early Warning, NewgTLDS.ICANN.org] Retrieved 27 Nov 2012</ref>
The warning recommends that the applicant withdraw its application as the string coincides with the name of a Nigerian region and state. The representative notes that the people and government of this region will likely want to secure their presence on the Internet in the future and that a commercial entity should not be given rights to the name of a geographic area.<ref>[https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/22938690/Delta-NG-75287.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1353452691000 Delta, GACweb.com.ICANN.org] Retrieved 27 Nov 2012</ref>
