| + | ===.TENNIS AUSTRALIA LTD=== |
| + | [[.TENNIS AUSTRALIA LTD]]'s application was issued a [[GAC]] Early Warning from the representative of Australia and GAC Chair, [[Heather Dryden]]. The warning system is noted as a strong recommendation on behalf of national governments to the [[ICANN Board]] that a given TLD application should be denied as it stands. Applicants are encouraged to work with objecting GAC members.<ref>[http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/gac-early-warning GAC Early Warning, NewgTLDS.ICANN.org] Retrieved 25 Nov 2012</ref> |
| + | |
| + | The warning states that the applicant is "seeking exclusive access to a common generic string .. that relates to a broad market sector," which Ms. Dryden notes could have unintended consequences and a negative impact on competition.<ref>[https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/22938690/Tennis-AU-69677.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1353434264000 Tennis AU, GACweb.ICANN.org]</ref> |
| + | |
| + | Its application is a [[Community TLD|Community Priority Application]]. "Only individuals and entities belonging to the Tennis Australia community will be eligible to register a domain name within the .tennis TLD, as strict eligibility criteria will be introduced...Tennis Australia provides benefits to 2,176 affiliated tennis clubs and their over 180,000 tennis player members throughout Australia." |
| + | |
| + | Current language in its application does not seem to leave room for any registration of the [[.tennis]] TLD outside of Australia.<ref>Application 1-1723-69677</ref> |
| + | |
| + | ====CPE Result==== |
| + | In March 2014 a [[Community Priority Evaluation]] (CPE) panel decided that the applicant would not prevail as a community applicant, giving them a 11 out of 16 possible points (14 are needed to pass). Thus the applicant will now have to resolve the contention set through other means such as a [[Private auction|Private]] or ICANN auction.<ref>[http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/cpe#invitations CPE Status] ''ICANN.org''; Retrieved 13 June 2014</ref> |
