Any applicant can designate its applied-for gTLD string as Community gTLD. However, applications for Community gTLDs must undergo a conditional evaluation (i.e., Registry Commitments Evaluation (RCE)), which requires payment of an additional fee, and will pay for and undergo the Community Priority Evaluation (CPE) if the applicant elects to use the CPE to resolve contention, if contention with the applied-for Community gTLD string occurs. Specifically, all Community Applications must pass the RCE in order to proceed in the program. Therefore, applicants are cautioned to carefully consider whether they believe their applications meet the relevant evaluation criteria before designating their applied-for TLD as a Community gTLD.
