Organizations have begun to protest against the new domains.

ICANN has begun accepting comments on its new domain name application process. The organization has received over 2,000 submissions.

Furthermore, organizations have begun to voice their concerns regarding the registration of new top-level domains. In particular, the international charity Save the Children expressed concern over the application for the .HEALTH domain. This domain is intended to have enormous public significance, as it will only register high-quality websites with verified information. However, the administrator of the new domain has stated that registration is based on a "first come, first served" principle, which is contrary to the public interest. Save the Children believes that registration rules should be defined first, and then the names should be registered. A second option is to use a domain name auction. The organization requires that only reliable information, thoroughly verified by medical experts, be published on websites in this domain zone. The International Medical Informatics Association and several other organizations have made a similar demand.

The International Olympic Committee is opposing the registration of the .SPORT domain, which was applied for by the international sports federation SportAccord and the domain name registrar Donuts.

Lego is concerned about the potential for a massive wave of cybersquatting, specifically the registration of domain names using well-known brands, which will lead to a large number of counterfeits. The company is demanding the creation of a list of trademark names and a ban on their use in certain domains, such as .KIDS, .GROUP, .INC, .GMBH, .DISCOUNT, .DEALS, and .DIRECT.
