<big><i>DCA Objection to UNIFORUM ZACR Application to ICANN:</i></big>
In its official public comment to ICANN, DotConnectAfrica opposed the Uniforum application by stating to ICANN that there are many infractions and other illegitimate actions that they have committed contrary to the new gTLD program of ICANN. Therefore,
it is anticipated that these comments will be made available to the ICANN Evaluation Panels performing the Initial Evaluation Reviews, and would be noted, verified and analyzed with a view to disqualifying or failing the UniForum application for .AFRICA gTLD string name. DCA further stated that the pieces of evidence that they have presented is based on their assessment of the published parts of UniForum's application which they have cited in this document, coupled with other pubic communication and documents such as official Communiqué released by the African Union Commission or the AU RFP document that was publicly circulated. <ref>[http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs053/1102516344150/archive/1111021912009.html Say no to African Registry Consortium (ARC)]</ref>.
