# Disputes will be resolved through notices to registrants and mark holders when there are discrepancies in applications. Discrepancies and disputes can come about when applicants do not agree with verifications, third parties don't agree with verifications, or third parties have additional information that will impact a valid trademark record.

===Batching and Prioritizing new gTLDs===
===new gTLD Program===
After initially rejecting a random lottery drawing to decide the order of processing and delegating new gTLDs, as of the ICANN 45 meeting, ICANN has once again proposed the random draw, which will be held December 4th to 15th, 2012. They have also extended the objection period from its former deadline of January 15th, 2013 to March 13th, 2013.<ref>[http://www.thedomains.com/2012/10/11/icann-to-hold-lottery-to-get-new-gtlds-to-market-sooner-draw-to-occur-december-4-15/ ICANN To Hold Lottery To Get New gTLD's To Market Sooner: Draw To Occur December 4-15; Objection Period Extended To March 13th], TheDomains.com.

[[Kurt Pritz]] provided some updates on the new gTLD program.
* [[GAC]] Early Warnings should be expected shortly after the close of the meeting.
* No contracts or delegations will be made before the next ICANN meeting, in Beijing.
* Seven applicants have withdrawn their applications, zero objections have been filed in the objection process, and there have been 127 change requests. Of those change requests, 29 have been approved, 84 are in review, and 14 require follow-up with applicants.
* String similarity will be analyzed in November.
* The geographic names review was currently being analyzed, and announcements were expected on November 26th.
* The [[Clarifying Questions]] test pilot had been run, with questions and survey having been sent on August 31 to various applicants, and responses due on September 17. The following stats were received: 72 percent of the respondents said the 6000 character limit was enough to answer the questions; more than half of respondents, 61 percent, said the financial and technical CQs were clear; some of the feedback included using bullet points instead of paragraphs, and for ICANN to disclose current scores and provide sample LOC and answers that meet requirements; and more than half said that two weeks was not enough time to respond to the CQs.
* Applicants to the Applicant Support Program were currently being analyzed by a five-member panel.
* [[EBERO]], the emergency back-end registry operator, was currently being developed by ICANN. They are planning for there to be three or four EBEROs to represent North America, Europe and Asia.<ref>[http://www.thewhir.com/web-hosting-news/icann-45-new-gtld-overview-and-information-for-applicants-with-icann-cso-kurt-pritz ICANN 45: New gTLD Overview and Information for Applicants with ICANN CSO Kurt Pritz, thewhir.com]</ref>
