==String Confusion Objection==
[[.shop]] applicant [[Commercial Connect]] submitted an objection to [[Donuts]]' application for .shopping on the grounds that the two strings are confusingly similar and that Internet users might mistake the strings for one another. An [[ICDR]] panelist, Robert Nau, ruled in favor of [[Commercial Connect]], which may force [[Donuts]' application into a contention set along with all of the applicants for [[.shop]]. However, no objection was filed against [[Uniregistry]] for their application of .shopping.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/14738-shopping-ruled-confusingly-similar-to-shop .shopping Ruled Confusingly Similar to .shop, Domain Incite] Retrieved 18 Oct 2013</ref> Nau was also the panelist who decided the case that found [[Amazon]]'s application for [[.通販]], which means "online shopping" in Chinese, to be confusingly similar to [[.shop]]. New gTLD applicant community members have expressed concern that the panelist chosen to decide certain objections has a major effect on the outcome of the objection.<ref>[http://domainnamewire.com/2013/10/16/donuts-shopping-found-too-similar-to-shop-will-be-placed-in-contention-set/ Donuts' .shopping Found Too Similar to .shop, Domain Name Wire] Retrieved 18 Oct 2013</ref>
