16 Describe the applicant's efforts to ensure that there are no known operational or rendering problems concerning the applied-for gTLD string

Prototypical answer:

In many cases, there is a sort of ʺcheckʺ imposed whenever you type a name into your browser. The purpose of the check is to screen invalid domain names before a DNS query is sent. Some of these checks still do not allow for all domains such as the newer ones that are four or more characters.

Rejection of some TLD strings due to outdated length parameters or other erroneous formatting criteria can be avoided by reliance on authoritative information. As described in Support of New Top-Level Domains by Internet Infrastructure Operators and Application Providers (2003), and Evaluation of New gTLDs (2004), several technical acceptance issues were associated with the gTLDs introduced in 2000-2001.
