Community Application For DotGay Wins Reconsideration Request

January 22, 2015 by Michele Neylon

While there were four applicants for the new TLD string .gay only one of them did so as a “community” application. Under ICANN’s established processes for new TLD applications a “community” application is treated differently to a “standard” one and follows a different set of rules.

As has been covered in depth elsewhere, the community application for .gay failed to pass the original test – the Community Priority Evaluation (CPE).

Today ICANN has published the determination of the Board Governance Committee. It’s a fairly long and detailed response which is quite fascinating on many levels. It’s also full of plenty of acronyms, footnotes and more ..

Short version – the applicant wins the right to have their application reconsidered on the basis of what might be seen to be a technicality. They have, however, no guarantee that they will actually prevail.

If they do not prevail in the new review (CPE) then they’re back in contention with 3 other applicants with deep pockets.

Here’s the full document:

And Kevin has already posted his analysis of it.

A bit of drama in the run up to the next ICANN meeting in Singapore ?
