===IO Objections===
[[ICANN]]'s [[Independent Objector]] (IO) filed a '''Limited Public Interest''' objection against all of the applicants for .health. The IO is an appointed authority on international law whose role is to object to strings on the grounds of Community harm and Limited Public Interest were detailed in the applicant guidebook. His objections are official objections and are funded by ICANN, though his office is otherwise independent. Reasons for the specific case against .health were not initially given, but, in the case of Limited Public Interest, "the applied-for gTLD string must be contrary to generally accepted legal norms of morality and public order that are recognized under fundamental principles of international law. The expert panel appointed by the ICC will base its decision on the existence of such a contradiction." The applied for string must threaten an incitement to violence of lawless action, discrimination, child pornography, or "be contrary to specific principles of international law as reflected in relevant international instruments of law."<ref>[http://www.independent-objector-newgtlds.org/english-version/limited-public-interests-objections/ Limited Public Interest, Independent Objector NewgTLDs.org] Retrieved 14 Mar 2013</ref>
The majority of the IO's objections are to health related TLD applications.
