2. <big>'''[[.catholic]]'''</big>, the community application by the Vatican's Papal Council for Social Communications ([[Pontificium Consilium de Comunicationibus Socialibus]], PCCS) is one of 4 applications for a catholic delineated TLD, the other three are all [[IDN]]s: [[.католик]], [[كاثوليك.]], and [[.天主教]].
"The PCCS is a Dicastery of the Holy See, the governing body of the Catholic Church..The “Holy See” is internationally acknowledged to be the highest juridical authority of the Catholic Church, being governed by the Pope, also referred to as “the Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Catholic Church”. For instance, the U.S. Department of State states that “the “Holy See” is the universal government of the Catholic Church and operates from Vatican City State, a sovereign, independent territory […]. The Pope is the ruler of both Vatican City State and the Holy See. The Holy See, as the supreme body of government of the Catholic Church, is a sovereign juridical entity under international law.”<ref>Application 1-1311-76497</ref>

3. <big>'''[[.corsica]]'''</big>, is a ethno-geographic TLD dedicated to the people and culture of Corsia and individuals and businesses that identify in or through them. The applicant is the [[Collectivité Territoriale de Corse]] (CTC), which is the regional Government of Corsica, and as is states in its application, "without doubt, the most legitimate entity representing the interests of the Corsican people." Corsica is one of the 22 regions of France.
Firm registration policies were not outline in its application, however it promised to create a charter before implementation with input from [[AFNIC]] and a third party consultant, which is subject to approval by the Corsican parliament. "The charter will aim to be sufficiently open encourage large numbers of registrations from legitimate content and service providers, but sufficiently restrictive and with sufficient provisos to protect the TLD against all types of abusive behaviour.

4. <big>'''[[.eus]]'''</big>, the [[.eus]] community application submitted by [[Puntueus Fundazioa]] is a geographic, cultural, linguistic focused TLD for the Basque region, people, language, and diaspora. It seems to be following the success of [[.cat]] as an [[sTLD]] for the Catalan community. "Eus is the contraction of “Euskara”, which means “basque language” in Basque." The organization has the written support of a wide-range of Basque centric entities. Puntueus Fundazioa plans to restrict registration to legitimate and well-inteioned actors within the Basque cultural-linguistic community; It will first seek out prominent entities in the community prior to general launch, and post general launch it will "[require registrants] to state their intended use of the registered domain name. A false statement of intended use is an indication of bad faith and can be the basis for the suspension of the domain name."<ref>Application 1-1293-15788</ref>
5. <big>'''[[.gal]]'''</big>, the [[.gal]] community TLD is aimed at the Galician linguistic and cultural community, which originated in Galicia, an area in northwestern Iberian Peninsula. It can be seen as building upon the success of [[.cat]] as an extension for the Catalan community, which was introduced in 2005. It is being applied for by [[The Asociación puntoGAL]]; members of the association include the most authoritative Galician language authority, The Real Academia Galega (RAG). Registrants will be required tos tate their intended use for the domain; a false statement is grounds for removal of the domain and of future participation in the community TLD.<ref>Application 1-1278-425</ref>
6. <big>'''[[.halal]]'''</big> Asia Green IT System Bilgisayar San. ve Tic. Ltd. Sti. (AGITSys) is the only applicant for the [[.halal]] TLD, and its application is a [[Community TLD|community priority application]]. Halal (Arabic: حلال ḥalāl, ʺlawfulʺ) is a term designating any object or an action which is permissible to use or engage in, according to Islamic law. The term is used to designate food seen as permissible according to Islamic law. However, given that there are a variety of Islamic sects, and that regional interpretations of the law vary widely, creating definitive and universal lists of what is halal is problematic.<ref>[http://www.caviarcaviar.com/How-Caviar-Became-Halal How Caviar Became Halal, CaviarCaviar.com]</ref> Still, many tenets of what is halal are widely accepted.<ref>[http://www.halal.gov.my/v3/index.php/en/about-halal-certification/halal-definition Halal Definition, Halal.gov.my]</ref> Intended registrants extend to "manufacturers of soups, grains, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, prepared foods, and other products, as well as hotels, restaurants, airlines, hospitals, and other service providers."
"AGITSYS is founded, owned and managed by Muslim people. AGITSys uses the expertise of the Muslim technical men, and it is incorporated in Turkey, one of the countries with the majority of Muslim people (98% Muslims)...Registrations in the .HALAL will be restricted to 1) those who can produce a copy of a halal certificate demonstrating that the goods and services they provide meet the generally accepted hahal standard and⁄or 2) all goods and service providers headquartered and operating in Islamic countries as they are deemed halal by their ability to operate in an Islamic country."<ref>Application 1-2131-60793</ref>

7. <big>'''[[.islam]]'''</big> the only applicant for the .islam community TLD is [[Asia Green IT System Bilgisayar San. ve Tic. Ltd. Sti.]] (AGITSys). The applicant notes that they are a Muslim-owned and operated company, and that they reside in a predominantly Mulsim country, Turkey.

We will also require registrants to ensure that websites hosted within the .ISLAM gTLD do not violate the sensitivities of the Muslim Community. These requirements will be enforced through the [Acceptable Use Policy] and other contracts registrants must sign with their registrars prior to the registration of a domain name...AGITSys will randomly audit domain names registered in the .ISLAM gTLD to ensure compliance with all eligibility and use criteria. If a violation is discovered, an investigation will begin immediately to rectify said violation. Penalties for violation range from suspension of a domain, to removal of the domain name from the TLD and blacklisting of the registrant, preventing them from being able to register any other names in the .ISLAM TLD."<ref>Application 1-2130-23450</ref>

"Registrations in the .ISMAILI TLD will be limited to Ismaili institutions recognized by the Ismaili Constitution as ordained by the 49th Imam, His Highness the Aga Khan...The Ismailis are the only Shia Muslims to have a living, hereditary Imam; it is the presence of the living Imam that makes the community unique."

In addition, the AGA KHAN FOUNDATION does not intend to sell, distribute or transfer control or use of any second level domain name registrations in the TLD to any party other than to its representatives and related organisations."<ref>Application 1-1013-63095</ref>
