===GoDaddy Withdraws===
The company had originally applied for .home, but in March 2013, the company announced that it was withdrawing its applications for [[.casa]] and [[.home]], and only sticking with its [[Brand TLD]] application for [[.godaddy]]. It was noted that it was withdrawing its applications to focus on its core registrar business, thereby removing competition with competitive applicants it could work with as future registries and eliminating concerns that it will promote its own TLDs ahead of others'. The announcements were made at an event, Registry Days, meant to open a dialogue between the world's largest registrar and new gTLd applicants.<ref>[http://domainnamewire.com/2013/03/06/go-daddy-home-casa-tld/ GoDaddy Home Casa TLD, DomainNameWire.com] Published & Retrieved 6 Mar 2013</ref> The applications were withdrawn in time to receive a 70% refund for each of the $185,000 application fees.

==Name Collision Concerns Impede Delegation==
[[ICANN]] hired firm [[Interisle Consulting]] to carry out an independent investigation on the issues that may arise from new gTLDs that are identical to TLDs being used on internal networks. The publishing of the report sparked a community-wide debate that later became known as the [[Name Collision]] issue. The firm reported at [[ICANN 47]] that .home and [[.corp]] gTLDs were cause for serious concern since those strings are widely in use by internal naming systems. In response to the report, [[ICANN]] labeled the .home and .corp strings as "high risk" and proposed that neither of the strings be delegated until it could be proven that risk is low.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/13994-new-gtlds-are-the-new-y2k-corp-and-home-are-doomed-and-everything-else-is-delayed New gTLDs are the New Y2K, Domain Incite] Retrieved 12 Sept 2013</ref> These two strings are currently severely delayed and some community members guess they may never be delegated.
