===ANA Members' new gTLD Bids===

Despite ANA's opposition to the program it was common knowledge that many of its largest members would still be making new gTLD bids. This was generally suspected, but in some cases had already been announced, such as the .canon bid announced by ANA member Canon.<ref>[http://www.brandchannel.com/home/post/2011/10/21/gTLD-Dot-Branding-Deloitte-Canon-Motorola-102111.aspx gTLD Dot Branding Deloitte Canon Motorola, BrandChannel.com]</ref><ref>[http://www.ana.net/members/list Members List, ANA.net]</ref> This was further confirmed in January 2012, just days before the launch of the [[New gTLD Program|new gTLD program]], when [[Melbourne IT]] announced it was working on over 100 new gTLD applications for clients, including ANA members.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/melbourne-it-involved-in-100-gtld-applications/ Melbourne IT involved in 100 gTLD applications, DomainIncite.com]</ref>

Most applied only for their trademarks, but some, including Allstate's applications for [[.carinsurance]] and [[.autoinsurance]], and Wal-Mart's and Safeway's competing applications for [[.grocery]], applied for generic terms as well.<ref>[http://domainnamewire.com/2012/06/15/about-100-ana-members-apply-for-new-top-level-domains/ About 100 ANA members apply for new top level domains, domainnamewire.com]</ref>
