Reviewing the GAC early warnings issued last night some winners really stick out.
New gTLD applications that were generally thought would get a GAC early warning, but did not include .gay, .sex, .adult, and .porn.
Another clear winner out of the GAC early warnings was Frank Schilling’s Uniregistry that applied for 54 new gTLD’s and did not receive even one early warning.
The DotGreen came out a double winner as their application did not get a early warning, but all other applications for the new gTLD .green did receive an early warning.
There was not an early warning issued for a potential competitor of .green, .Eco.
Other winners include gambling domains which many thought would receive an objection including .poker, .bet, although .casino got 4 early warning objections.
On the losers front there were a lot of objections to professional new gTLD’s that are planned to be made available to anyone to register including .attorney, .lawyer, .health, .accountant, .accountants, .cpa, .dentist, .doctor. and .engineering
Other losers include financials and insurance verticals including; .insurance, .carinsurance, .bank, .loan, .loans, .insure, .investments, .finance, .financial, .credit and .creditcard.
However .law and .esq did not get an objection.
