The GAC creates different Working Groups to study and address each issue; for instance there was a different working group for [[IDN]]s than that used for [[ccTLD]]s.<ref>[http://www.aptld.org/dubaiJune2007/04%20JK%20-%20APTLD%20meeting%20June%202007.pdf GAC working groups]</ref>

==New gTLDs==
A new version, the ninth, of the [[Applicant Guidebook]] was released on January 11th, 2012, by [[ICANN]], just a day before the application window for ICANN's [[New gTLD Program|new gTLD program]] opened. The new version gave much greater power to the GAC in forcing the [[ICANN Board]] to manually review any application that the committee found problematic. Exactly how many GAC members it would take to cause this review is vague, but it could be as little as one nation's objection. This is a significant change given that the ICANN Board had no requirement to heed any GAC objection in the previous guidebook; the board is still able to over-rule any GAC objection.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/gac-gets-more-power-to-block-controversial-gtlds/ GAC Gets More Power to Block Controversial gTLDs, DomainIncite.com]</ref>
