Reception by New gTLD Applicants to the Interisle Report as well as ICANN's proposed plan was varied. Many applicants were angered and cited that the timing of the report was poor, since ICANN was only months away from delegating the first New gTLDs in the program. Others pointed to the potential of millions of dollars in extra costs because of this delay. A few applicants, most notably [[Verisign]], were more supportive of ICANN's response to the report and felt the delay was warranted in order to make sure the security of the Internet would not be compromised. Many applicants however, felt that the report and ICANN's response was too conservative and that the Name Collision issue did not pose a serious risk for the vast majority of new TLDs.

[[Donuts]] initially reacted to the Interisle Report and ICANN's response by saying: "We also think that name collision is an overstated issue.
