GAC Early Warning

The applications from Amazon and 1&1 Mail & Media GmbH was 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.[8]

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.[9]

Name Collision Concerns and Cancellation

ICANN hired firm Interisle Consulting to carry out an independent investigation on the issues that may arise from new gTLDs that are identical to TLDs being used on internal networks. The publishing of the report sparked a community-wide debate that later became known as the Name Collision issue. The firm reported at ICANN 47 that the .mail, .home, and .corp gTLDs were cause for serious concern since those strings are widely in use by internal naming systems. In response to the report, ICANN labeled the three strings as "high risk" and proposed that none of the strings be delegated until it could be proven that risk is low.[10]

In 2015, the IETF's DNS Operations committee began drafting an RFC with the intention of setting a standard of reserving .corp, .home, and .mail from general use, in deference to the exceedingly common use in intranets.[11]

On February 4, 2018, the ICANN Board issued a resolution to cease processing of all applications for the three strings. Applicants were provided a full refund of their application fee.[11]
