− | AusRegistry became heavily involved in the promotion of new [[gTLD]]s in 2011, and they have focused their marketing efforts on promoting their registry back-end services. In September, 2011, one of the first public gTLD applicants, GJB Partners, announced that they would be contracting with AusRegistry for the back-end of their proposed [[.jewelers]] domain.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/ausregistry-wins-jewelers-deal/ AusRegistry Wins Jewelers Deal, DomainIncite.com]</ref> | + | AusRegistry Pty Group's International subsidiary, AusRegistry International, rebranded itself as of October, 2011 to [[ARI Registry Services]]. The move was made to enhance its image abroad, and dispel the preoccupations that working with an Australian company meant uncertainty and risks for a non-Australian organization. Along with the rebranding annoucnement, [[ARI]] also announced that it would be the first [[registry]] to offer its customers the choice between two primary locations for the operation of a [[TLD]] registry. Establishing its location outside of Australia involved deploying registry infrastructure and resources to the United States.<ref>[http://ariservices.com/news-global-rebrand.php Global Rebrand, ARIServices.com]</ref> Prior to the move, ARI already had an office in the United States, and clients on 4 continents; still, the AUS prefix was not amenable to global expansion and recognition.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/ausregistry-drops-the-aus-sets-up-in-us/ AusRegistry drops the Aus, DomainIncite.com]</ref> |

The plan calls for [[Iron Mountain]] to refer its clients looking to register as new gTLD registry operators to Ausregistry, while AusRegistry would refer those clients looking for data escrow services to Iron Mountain.<ref>[http://www.ironmountain.com/NewsArticle.aspx?id=17179873796 IronMountain.com]</ref>
