[CORRECTED-- an earlier version of this posting misread one of the application names. As misread, it could have been seen as controversial or derogatory. As correctly read, it has no connection to a religious topic.]
A 60-day comment period begins today, allowing anyone in the world to submit comments on any application, and the evaluation panels will consider them," said Pritz. "If anyone objects to an application and believes they have the grounds to do so, they can file a formal objection to the application. And they will have seven months to do that."Here it the page from wich public comments may be submitted. ICANN has also posted instructions for those who wish to file formal objections.
UPDATE: Mashable reports further on religious gTLD applications, pointing out another relevant application as well: LDS (for Latter Day Saints) sought by IRI Domain Management, LLC.
UPDATE2: IMAMAT should also be added to the list of gTLD applications involving religious references. [Thanks to comment from Shahram Soboutipour.]
