.bar is a proposed domain name string to ICANN's New gTLD Program.[1] This string, applied for by two applicants as a generic application, was deemed a Geographic TLD by ICANN's Geographic Names Panel, referring to a commune in Montenegro. Geo TLDs must have government support in order to pass evaluation and proceed towards delegation.[2]
Current Applicants
- Punto 2012 Sociedad Anonima de Capital Variable, applied for the string as geographical TLD for the city of Barcelona. They have contracted CentralNic as their technical provider.
Previous Applicants
- Demand Media (United TLD|United TLD Holdco Ltd.), this one of the 26 gTLDs applied for by the company. [3] The application was withdrawn in July 2013.[4]
Objection
Saudi Arabia's Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) filed an objection against the TLD in the public comment forum.[5] The comment forum does not require payment for a comment or objection, thus it did not require the ICDR or the ICC to determine an outcome. The comment was taken into consideration by the Initial Evaluation panels.
