The objection period ended on March 13 2013, with the ALAC filing objections to applicants "DotHealth, LLC", "Goose Fest, LLC", and "dot Health Limited" for the .HEALTH string.

How to review information about the gTLD applications and applicants
ICANN has posted all of the new gTLD applied for strings and their applications by applicants at http://gtldresult.icann.org/
On the http://gtldresult.icann.org/ page, you can search the database of applied for strings by
- string,
- Applicant
- Region
- IDN
- Community
- Geographic
You can also sort the table by one of the columns (String, Applicant, Location, Community, Geographic, Primary Contact, Email)
