====Public Comment Period====
 +
As ICANN does with many of their policies and decisions, the Interisle Report and ICANN's proposed solutions were posted on the ICANN website for a period of Public Comment in August-September of 2013. Many community members submitted comments. Overall, discussions revolved around two main points: many applicants submitted comments that criticized the data in the report and/or ICANN's solution plan. However, many members of the community, primarily non-applicants, argued that the comment period was too short and asked ICANN to proceed with caution and allow companies time to go over the data and create their own research.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/14334-name-collisions-comments-call-for-more-gtld-delay Name Collisions Comments Call for More gTLD Delay, DomainIncite] Retrieved 19 Feb 2014</ref>
