Background

The path from application to launch was rather complicated, due to the name collision[6] concerns relating to the word "global" (as it is being used in many internal networks).[7] As a consequence, the .global registry had to block 60,000 domain names from registration for a couple of months, until the name collision issues had been fully resolved.
