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:

As is the case with any new TLD that is added to the DNS root zone, some general technical acceptance issues with the delegation of this TLD are expected. The back-end registry services provider selected by the Applicant has a significant experience in introducing new TLDs to the DNS root, including .BIZ, .US, and – more recently – .CO.

Following discussions with various domain name experts, we have not been able to determine any particular issues with respect to the applied-for gTLD, since:

- the string is entirely in Standard US ASCII characters;
- the length of the string is within the acceptable range of characters, as set out by ICANN;
- similar strings of the same nature have been successfully introduced in the root, including the TLDs referred to above, without the registry operator, registrars, registrants or Internet users having experienced technical, operational or rendering issues with respect to this string.

Therefore, the Applicant is of the opinion that there are no particular operational or rendering problems to be expected in relation to the applied-for gTLD string.
