The application was subject to a [[GAC]] Early Warning from the representative of Australia and GAC Chair, [[Heather Dryden]]. The warning system is noted as a strong recommendation on behalf of national governments to the [[ICANN Board]] that a given TLD application should be denied. The warning states that the .gripe string has an overtly critical nature and that [[Donuts]] had no sufficiently addressed how to prevent large quantities of [[Defensive Registration]]s.<ref>[https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/22938690/Gripe-AU-63504.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1353383661000 Gripe AU, GACweb.ICANN.org]</ref>

On 06 March 2014, [[Donuts]] received a [[Registry Agreement]] signed by [[ICANN]] for .gripe after passing all the required processes needed to become a [[Registry Operator]] for the string.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/registries Registry Agreements, ICANN.org] Retrieved 15 April 2014</ref>
