"The mission and purpose of the proposed .DWG Top Level Domain (TLD) is the creation and operation of a TLD dedicated to the Applicant, its DWG brand and products. As such the objective is that the .DWG TLD will serve as an official, trusted, secure and dedicated name space for the DWG brand and products. To this end the Applicant seeks to launch the .DWG TLD and to create and operate an innovative and secure platform in a manner which is consistent with its subject matter whilst committing to the promotion of consumer trust, consumer protection and integrity of the .DWG TLD and the associated Internet space.
