==Application Requirements/Procedures for Geo TLDs==

ICANN requires applicants for geo TLDs to provide a documentation of support or non-objection from relevant government(s) or authority (ies). The same documentation is required to entities applying for a city name unless if the name will only be used for a generic term brand. If there is multiple applications on a particular city name, applicants are required to resolve the competition among themselves.Linguistics experts will be responsible in determining if a particular string represents a geographic or geopolitical name. Applications for Geo TLDs will be evaluated by the Geographic Names Panel (GNP). <ref>[http://archive.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/geographic-names-22oct08-en.pdf New gTLD Program
