The following are all contested TLDs containing at least one community priority applicant, though in some cases there are two competitive community applications. Furthermore, some community applicants have applied twice; once as a community and once as a generic applicant, as a way of ensuring they are still able to compete for the TLD should ICANN deny their community status per its TLD rules.

To begin with the TLD will be a [[Single Registrant TLD]], meaning that the applicant will use it for their own commercial and internal profits and not offer registration to the wider community. "At a later stage, in addition to the Applicant and⁄or its subsidiaries, members of the Webs community will possibly be entitled to register domain names in .WEBS. That is to say, one of the main eligibility criteria will be that the interested party wishing to register a domain name in the .WEBS TLD is either a member of the Applicant or has a sufficiently close link to the Webs community."

21. '''[[.merck]]''', There are three applications from two applicants for [[.merck]]. The American healthcare company, [[Merck & Co. Inc.]], applied twice, once through a community application and once as a general applicant. This was clearly done as a way to edge out any competition that may have also applied for a Merck community application, or keep a stake in the [[.merck]] TLD should its own community status be denied. The competitive community applicant is the German-based [[Merck KGaA]] pharmaceutical company, which employes over 40,000 people in 70 countries.

Merck has operated under the Merck name and trademark in the United States and Canada since as early as 1920." It defines its community as its own healthcare and pharmaceutical business but also its philanthropic and corporate responsibility programs, and its publications and websites. Registration will be restricted to the company, its subsidiaries, and authorized partners.
