Closed Generic TLDs – The Final Battle? - Over the past couple of years I've posted several times on the issue of "closed generics" (e.g. see posts from Feb 24, 2013 Jun 14, 2012). In essence these are new TLD applications where the string is a "generic term" AND the applicant wanted to keep all domains in the registry for their own use. The baseline registry agreement with ICANN now contains language that resolves the issue, or at least it would appear to do so: Section 3d of Specification 11 of the Registry Agreement — Registry ... read more ...

Berlin erste Hauptstadt mit TLD – .berlin ab sofort verfügbar - Anfang 2012 öffnete die ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Numbers and Names) die Bewerbung für neue Top-Level-Domains (TLD). Der schlichte Grund: Immer schneller wurden im vergangenen Jahrzehnt immer mehr Domains registriert, was allmählich dazu führte, dass kaum noch sinnvolle Domain-Namen verfügbar waren. Lange hatte sich die US-Organisation dagegen gesträubt, mehr Domain-Endungen zuzulassen, weil damit auch mehr Verwaltungs- und Überwachungsaufwand einhergeht. Nicht nur für die ... read more ...

Registration Numbers Not the Only Success Measure for New TLDs - Like many, I've been watching the rollout of the first 150+ new Top-Level Domains (TLD) with interest. Since the delegation of شبكة. back in October, we've seen all sorts of TLDs launched — from brands like .monash to generics like .build. There has been intense scrutiny within our industry on the zone file registration numbers of these delegated TLDs to measure whether or not they are successful. To be fair, this is not a surprise. We've been conditioned by past generic TLD launches ... read more ...
