Quoting the document:

   These new gTLD's will consist of letter strings of three to
   five letters each. IAHC has also decided that each gTLD
   should have general, contextual meaning, i.e. the gTLD
   should suggest a connection with the Internet, with business
   or with personal uses.

My personal judgement is that .MEDICAL doesn't fit the criteria in
several respects.
