A '''Community Objection''' is one type of formal objection that was admissible during the public comment and objection period of the [[New gTLD Program]]. The objection filing period opened after [[ICANN]] announced the complete list of [[All New gTLD Applications|gTLD Applications]] on June 13, 2012, and closed after January 12, 2013.<ref name=faq>[http://isenbergondomains.com/2012/07/05/frequently-asked-questions-about-community-objections/ FAQ - Community Objections - Isenburg On Domains]Retrieved 13 August 2013</ref> There were 104 objections filed as Community Objections.<ref>[http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/odr/filings Objection FIlings Announcement - New gTLDs - ICANN]Retrieved 13 August 2013</ref>.


There were 104 objections filed under the [[Community Objection]] type.
[[ICANN]]'s gTLD Applicant Guidebook states that an institution has grounds for the Community Objection if: "there is substantial opposition to the gTLD application from a significant portion of the community to which the gTLD string may be explicitly or implicitly targeted."<ref>[http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/agb gTLD Applicant Guidebook - ICANN]Retrieved 13 August 2013</ref> However, if they wish to file an objection, they must first prove that they are (1) “an established institution” and (2) that they have "an ongoing relationship with a clearly delineated community." [[ICANN]]'s [[Independent Objector]] can also make a Community Objection.<ref name=faq></ref>


==Developments==
On August 21, 2013, 23 Community Objections were terminated, leaving a few gTLD applications without any objections whatsoever. The objections were terminated by the [[ICC]] for a variety of reasons, the most common being that the applications themselves had been withdrawn. Other reasons were matching Objections by Third Parties, or in response to [[GAC]] advice.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/14262-new-gtlds-23-community-objections-withdrawn New gTLDs, 23 Community Objections Withdrawn, Domain Incite] Retrieved 12 Sept 2013</ref>
