===PICs===
On February 5th 2013, Just two months before ICANN is to be ready to recommend TLDs for implementation, the organization suggested the creation and implementation of Public Interest Commitments (PICs) via a proposed Registry Agreement posted for public comment. PICs seem to have been devised to allow applicants to respond to potential negative government reactions to their applicants, as highlighted via [[GAC]] early warnings, and write binding amendments to individual applications to highlight their various commitments to creating safe and effective registries. For example, should a government have claimed that an applicant did not have enough safety mechanisms in place, the applicant could create a PIC to highlight a new policy that would restrict registration to a certain group of verifiable professionals. NTIA took the public comment period to recommend that all applicants submit PICs as a way to restrict eligibility to relevant registrants, enforce [[Whois]] accuracy, and protect intellectual property and other creative content from online piracy.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/11987-ntia-fights-big-contents-corner-tells-all-new-gtld-applicants-to-submit-pics NTIA fights big Contents Corner Tells All new gTLD Applicants To Submit PICs, DomainIncite] Retrieved 4 Mar 2013</ref>
