| + | ==Application Excerpts== |
| + | The following is excerpted from applicant response to question #18: |
| + | |
| + | "The Applicant, Schwarz Domains und Services GmbH & Co. KG, is a member of the Schwarz Group of companies, one of the largest retail groups in Europe. The Schwarz Group deploys activities under – amongst others – the KAUFLAND and LIDL brands. The companies in the Schwarz Group serve customers in more than 20 countries where they operate, generating a turnover of more than EUR 60 billion in 2011. They directly or indirectly employ 310.000 employees. |
| + | |
| + | .. |
| + | |
| + | 4) The Applicant intends to implement the following policies and procedures with respect to the registration of domain names in the .schwarzgroup top-level domain: |
| + | a) reservation and registration of domain names in the name members of the Schwarz Group. It is likely that this will be the scenario that Schwarz Domains und Services GmbH & Co. KG will put in place during the first months or even years of operation of the .schwarzgroup gTLD . |
| + | These names may include, but are not limited to: |
| + | i. descriptive names, referring to the actual day-to-day business activities of members of the Schwarz Group; |
| + | ii. descriptive names, referring to the internal departments of members of the Schwarz Group and its subsidiaries; |
| + | iii. descriptive names, referring to the subsidiaries, affiliates and⁄or joint ventures of members of the Schwarz Group. |
| + | iv. potentially also names relating to other stakeholders of the Schwarz Group, to be determined by Schwarz Domains und Services GmbH & Co. KG following ICANN’s award and delegation of the .schwarzgroup gTLD to Schwarz Domains und Services GmbH & Co. KG; and |
| + | v. private label products of members of the Schwarz Group. |
| + | b) launch of the TLD : if and when implemented by the Registry Operator, this is likely going to be a gradual process, whereby selected third parties that meet certain criteria, which Schwarz Domains und Services GmbH & Co. KG will be entitled to set at its own discretion, may register domain names in the .schwarzgroup gTLD."<ref>[http://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus ApplicationStatus, gTLDresult.ICANN.org]Retrieved 6 Jan 2013</ref> |
