GAC Early Warnings
The applications from Donuts and Famous Four Media each received a GAC Early Warning from Greece. 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.

The warnings are identical and state that each respective organization does not represent the international basketball community while FIBA, which also applied, does.[6]
