==Background==
===GAC Early Warning===
Radix received a [[GAC]] Early Warning as an entire applicant, where each one of the applicants was flagged by the U.S. Government. This seems to be the only time a portfolio applicant had all of their applications warned. The issue does not deal with the technical capabilities or thematic content of their applications, but rather the inclusion of an email address associated with the US' Federal Bureau of Investigation. It seems that Radix included correspondence with this address as a recommendation with each of their applications.<ref>[https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/22938690/RadixReg-US-31.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1353452704000 RadixReg.

==Application Details==
===Application Details===
The following is excerpted from the applicant's response to question #18:
The following is excerpted from the applicant's response to question #18:
* .Host will provide registrants the option to register more desirable and shorter names as opposed to names they would have otherwise registered in existing gTLDs due to the high saturation of the existing namespaces. Outside of ccTLD programs, past gTLD registries have largely focused on North America and European marketplaces. Directi will be offering the language and culture agnostic .host to international markets, with the goal of a truly global distribution of registrants."<Ref>[http://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus/applicationdetails/1494 Application Download, gTLDresult.ICANN.org] Retrieved 26 Feb 2013</ref>
