===GAC Early Warning===
In late 2012, The Chinese [[GAC]] representative issued a GAC Early Warning to [[Guangzhou YU Wei Information Technology Co., Ltd.]] regarding its application. It notes that it is a geographical name representing a significant and important area in China and that the government does not support its application. It recommends it withdraws its application immediately.<ref>[https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/22938690/GuangzhouIDN-CN-22691.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1353452275000 GuangzhouIDN, .pdf, GACweb.ICANN.org]retrieved 17 Jan 2013</ref>
GAC warnings proceed official GAC advice, which is seen as a strong recommendation to the [[ICANN Board]] that a given application should not be approved. Entities are encouraged to respond and engage the GAC representatives regarding their applications.
