Withdrawals


It may seem a shame that 132 of the 1,930 applications were


withdrawn, but it was


inevitable that some applicants would pull their bids, says Weslow. T ere may be several reasons for this behaviour, including losing at auction for a contended gTLD or facing an early warning or advice from the Governmental Advisory Committee.


“However,” says Petillion, “one must not forget that some applicants participated in the new gTLD programme for purely defensive reasons. T ey may have chosen to recover part of their investment by withdrawing early in the process.” 
