.grocery is a proposed TLD in ICANN's New gTLD Program.
Current Applicant
Previous Applicant
Safeway withdrew its application for .grocery in September 2014 along with the other three New TLDs the company had applied for; .vons, .justforu and .safeway.[2]
GAC Early Warnings
Both applications were issued 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 as it stands. Applicants are encouraged to work with objecting GAC members.[3]
The warning states that the applicant is "seeking exclusive access to a common generic string .. that relates to a broad market sector," which Ms. Dryden notes could have unintended consequences and a negative impact on competition.[4]
