Introduction
Welcome to the At-Large new gTLD Application Dashboard Workspace!
This wiki space will hold any At-Large comments on the new gTLD applications and applied for strings received by ICANN for its New gTLD program. The At-Large comments will be used by the New gTLD Review Group (gTLD RG) to decide whether to draft a formal objection statement to a gTLD application on limited public interest or community grounds for RALO’s consideration and ALAC's during the 7 month objection period as part of ICANN's Objection and Dispute Resolution Process.
The objection period ended on March 13 2013, with the ALAC filing objections to applicants "DotHealth, LLC", "Goose Fest, LLC", and "dot Health Limited" for the .HEALTH string.
