==Community Application==

There are 3 applications, but only 2 applicants, as the Canadian Real Estate Association applied as a [[Community TLD|community priority]] applicant and as a standard gTLD applicant. This is a means of ensuring that the Canadian Real Estate Association is still in a place to be delegated the TLD, even if it is not accepted as a community TLD.

While [[.mls]] has been applied for by the Canadian Association, it has already reached a deal to allow partners in America, the MLS Domains Association, to verify and sell its domains in the USA.<ref>[http://www.inman.com/profile/innovator/canadian-real-estate-associationmls-domains-association Canadian Real Estate Association, Inman.com]</ref>  Their registration policies state: "Only members of CREA and its Foreign Affiliates will be permitted to register .MLS websites.  The .MLS TLD will initially be made available to CREA’s Board members and Foreign Affiliate members.  After undertaking any required assessments, CREA may enter into a second phase where the TLD would be made available to broker and salespeople members of CREA.  Boards using the .MLS TLD will be required to use their corporate name, or an acronym of their corporate name, as the second level domain.  Foreign Affiliate members will be required to include geographical modifiers in their second level domains on the .MLS TLD or clearly indicate the geographical area served by their system on any site page.  For example, the Durham MLS would not be able to simply register Durham.mls, as this domain could be confusing with Durham, Ontario.  The Durham MLS would be required to include a geographical modifier, like DurhamNorthCarolina.mls, or they would have to display something like a map of North Carolina on their home page."<ref>gTLD Application 1-1888-47714</ref>

In March 2014 a [[Community Priority Evaluation]] (CPE) panel decided that the applicant would not prevail as a community applicant, giving them a 11 out of 16 possible points (14 are needed to pass). Thus the applicant will now have to resolve the contention set through other means such as a [[Private auction|Private]] or ICANN auction.<ref>[http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/cpe#invitations CPE Status] ''ICANN.org''; Retrieved 13 June 2014</ref>
