==Private Auction==

===Former Applicants===

 

# [[LTD Registry, LLC]] - This application was '''WITHDRAWN'''. It was the first applicant to leave the contention set.

In Summer 2014, all applicants withdrew their applications save for Donuts, who now remains the only applicant for the string. The withdrawn applications are due to an assumed private auction or deal in which Donuts payed the other contestants for rights to the string.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/17169-donuts-wins-ltd-gtld-contest Donuts Wins .ltd gTLD Contest] by Kevin Murphy, ''DomainIncite''; Retrieved 15 Aug 2014</ref>
