The TLD was originally contested by two applicants, but [[Donuts]] withdrew its application in December 2013 after what appears to be a privately negotiated deal, a rarity as most contention sets are being settled either by objections or auctions.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/15413-todays-new-gtld-passes-signings-and-withdrawals Today's New gTLD Passes, Signings, and Withdrawals, DomainIncite] Retrieved 30 Dec 2013</ref>

# [[Donuts]] (Goose Falls, LLC)- This is one of the 307 new gTLD applications submitted by Donuts. The company raised $100 million dollars to support the operations of its registry business and its investors are willing to provide additional funding if necessary to ensure the reliability and security of its registry operations. Donuts plans to offer the registration of .global domain names to a wide range of registrants. It will also encourage "inclusiveness" in its registration policy. The company will also implement eight mechanisms to ensure security and intellectual property rights protection. The company partnered with [[Demand Media]] to provide back-end registry services, [[AusRegistry]] for [[DNS]] services and [[DNSSEC]], and [[Iron Mountain]] to provide data escrow services. [[Daniel Schindler]], co-founder and EVP for Marketing and Sales of Donuts, is the main contact person in the application.<ref>
