Application Details

Excerpted from response to question #18 in TLD application:

"Based on CNNICʹs self-positioning, as the constructor, operator and manager of the National Top Level Domain Name ʺ.CNʺ and ʺ.中国ʺ, CNNIC’s mission of applying for ʺ.网络ʺ is a correspondence of ICANN’s expectation of promoting new gTLD, and also represent its own strategic guiding thoughts as: Maintenance for Public Interest, Security and Reliability, Standardization and Efficiency and Service for Applications[.]

[..]

ʺ.网络ʺ is also different from current CDN ccTLDs such as ʺ.中国ʺ and ʺ.香港ʺ, for it is specialized in serving global Chinese language community without obvious restriction by territory. CNNIC is intended to engage 100% participation of its global licensed registrars, making “.网络” string as a globalized brand in the communities of Chinese language Internet service providers, and facilitate their promotion in the entire global Chinese user market."

申请细节

基于中国互联网信息中心的自我定位：国家顶级域名.CN及【.中国】的构造者，运行者和经营者 ，该中心申请【.网络】作为顶级域名的意义在于迎合ICANN对推动新通用顶级域名的产生及使用的期望。同时，也借此申请表达其战略指导思想：维护公共利益，安全以及公众可信度；坚持域名申请服务的规范和效率。

【.网络】这一顶级域名不同于其他国家代码顶级域名如【.中国】和【.香港】。它不局限于中国领土内的中文社区。中国互联网络信息中心 （CNNIC）意在与其在全球范围内所有获得许可的域名注册商合作，使【.网络】在全球华人社区内品牌化。
