If the applied-for primary string is disqualified for any reason, the entire application – including all the applied-for variant strings – will also be disqualified and cannot move forward. However, if one of the applied-for variant strings is disqualified, the applicant can submit an Application Change Request (ACR) to remove that specific variant string. If the ACR is approved, the rest of the gTLD strings in the application, consisting of the primary string and any remaining applied-for gTLD variant strings, can proceed.
