So Will Manwin (YouPorn.com) Apply For a New gTLD For .Sex, .Porn or .Adult - When ICANN makes it “Big Reveal” of the new gTLD applicants tomorrow, one of the more interesting and lingering questions is will Manwin, the owner of YouPorn.com, who filed a lawsuit against ICM Registry, the operator of the .XXX extension and ICANN itself,  file an application for a new gTLD like .Sex or .Porn or .Adult? Frankly IMHO Manwin,  is in between the proverbial rock and the hard place. If Manwin doesn’t apply for a new adult TLD like .Porn or .Sex or .Adult when ICM registry ... read more ...

Frank Schilling is definitely trying to shake things up with his new TLD play Uniregistry. Here are some interesting sections of his applications: On defensive registrations: “Our financial projections do not include, expect, nor rely upon an assumed profit from defensive registrations… …Brand owners who are not interested in using the TLD should not be charged a premium nor risk implicitly threatened consequences of non-registration. ... read more ...

These village TLD applications are a finish joke - Be ready to prove you’re part of the .shop community if you want to register a .shop domain. One of the biggest problems I’ve had with the new TLD applicant guidebook is preference given to applications representing a so-called community. This is ripe for gaming. Consider these applications that say they are representing a “community”: .Music – .music LLC from Far Further and CGR E-Commerce LTD .eco from Big Room Inc. .Shop from Commercial Connect and GMO ... read more ...

.Doh! Group relates for .dotafrica, Vistaprint relates for .webs twice, and Merck for .Merck thrice - Coming soon, .africa and .dotafrica. There were certainly some interesting top level domain applications released today. But it looks like a few companies made mistakes — or wasted some money at the very least. First, some have reported that they were surprised to only see one .africa application. After all, DotConnectAfrica said it was going to still apply for the domain despite dispute over support of African governments. But then today’s list shows only one ... read more ...

NBA, MLB, and NFL request for tip turn domains - Are you ready for .baseball? The United States’ three biggest professional sports leagues have applied to ICANN to run their own top level domains. As I predicted, Major League Baseball applied for .MLB. It also applied for .baseball. It will face a play-off with .baseball though, as Donuts Inc also applied for the domain. Donuts is the largest new TLD applicant, and submitted the application through its Silver Pass, LLC company. National Basketball Association ... read more ...

Peter Dengate Thrush’s greeting to today’s tip turn domain reveals - Former ICANN chairman notes some surprises today, but says he’s still digesting all of the data. Peter Dengate Thrush was chairman of ICANN’s board when it finally approved the new top level domain plan. Now he’s with Top Level Domain Holdings (TLDH), which is one of the biggest applicants for new top level domains. It is applying for 68 on its own accord and 92 in total. I just got off the phone with Dengate Thrush and asked him what the biggest surprises were ... read more ...

Google and Amazon contest on 21 new tip turn domain applications - Google and Amazon had a lot of the same ideas for new top level domains. One of the biggest battles over new top level domains will pit internet heavyweights Google and Amazon against each other. Amazon applied for 76 top level domains and Google applied for 101 top level domains. But I count 20 — and perhaps 21 — domain names that the two will have to duke it out for. Here’s the list of domains that both companies applied for: .App .Book .Cloud .Dev .Drive .Free .Game .Kid/.Kids .Mail .Map .Movie .Music .Play .Search .Shop .Show .Spot .Store .Talk .Wow .You And ... read more ...

Donuts also relates for .sucks — here’s the list of 307 applications - A fight breaks out over .sucks top level domain. Donuts, Inc. is the biggest applicant for new top level domains. But it’s a little difficult to parse that information from ICANN’s release of applications since every one has a different corporation attached to it. (The list of registry company names looks a lot like SnapNames list of registrars.) So I’ve gone ahead and printed its list below. Perhaps most interesting is that Donuts applied for .sucks amongst ... read more ...

Microsoft relates for 11 (mostly) .brand domain names including .skype - Microsoft goes easy on new top level domains. Compared to other internet giants Google and Amazon, Microsoft was conservative on the top level domains it has applied for. There are 11 in total: AZURE BING DOCS HOTMAIL LIVE MICROSOFT OFFICE SKYDRIVE SKYPE WINDOWS XBOX All of these look like brands, save for perhaps .docs. This looks like more of a defensive play than anything else, although I’m sure Microsoft can find a good way to put .office and .skype to use. The ... read more ...
