or sensitivities” concerned. While one expects in most cases the concern would lie within those criteria, I would have thought that at times there could be other concerns, to do with cultural, religious or competition grounds.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The GAC noted this in the ICANN77 Communiqué:
</span><i><span lang="EN-CA">Regarding Recommendation 30.6, the GAC agrees with the notion that a GAC Early Warning should be explained and that in order to ensure constructive dialogue at an early stage of the procedure and mitigate these concerns it is important
for government(s) issuing Early Warning(s) or the GAC in its advice to provide a written explanation/rationale. However, the GAC wishes to recall the compromise language brought forward by the GAC, as applications may not always be able to be remedied in the
opinion of the government(s) issuing a GAC Early Warning. Therefore, the GAC proposes the adoption of an updated language to Recommendation 30.6 as follows: “[...] how the applicant may potentially address the GAC member’s concerns to the extent feasible”.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
