==Application Details==
 +
The following is excerpted from the applicant's response to question #18:
    +
"The .verisign gTLD will leverage the same industry-leading Internet technologies that have
 +
made the TLDs we operate reliable, secure, and available for more than a decade. The gTLD
 +
will reinforce the reputation and trust of Verisign products and services such as Verisign DDoS
 +
Protection, Verisign Managed DNS, and Verisign iDefense Security Intelligence Services.
 +
 +
The .verisign gTLD will allow us to better differentiate our unique products and services by
 +
identifying the landing pages of such products and services as authentically Verisign’s. This
 +
identification will allow customers to feel secure that the information they are receiving is coming
 +
from Verisign and its authorized affiliates and not a third party that may be spoofing the site or
 +
operating a phishing scam. The .verisign gTLD will also provide credibility that the inventions
 +
and data we share through this gTLD come directly from Verisign.
 +
 +
The .verisign gTLD will assure visitors to our site that the information they are receiving is
 +
coming from Verisign and not an unauthorized third party. The gTLD will act as a visual indicator
 +
for the user and will help build the Verisign brand and association to our services in the market.
 +
 +
As such, registrations of domain names for the .verisign gTLD may only be performed by an
 +
authorized registrant acting on behalf of VeriSign, Inc. All domain name registrations in the
 +
gTLD will be registered to and maintained by VeriSign, Inc. for our own exclusive use. VeriSign,
 +
Inc.  does not currently plan to  sell, distribute, or transfer control or use of any registrations in
 +
the gTLD to any third party that is not an affiliate. Verisign intends to  implement registration
 +
policies that: (i) require Verisign to approve any and all registrations; (ii) require all registrations
 +
to be in the name of Verisign and⁄or our affiliates; and (iii) require that control of such
 +
registrations and their use remain with Verisign and ⁄or our affiliates and partners.
 +
 +
As the sole registrant for the .verisign gTLD, we will publish all required registrant information in
 +
our Whois system, which will not contain private or confidential information. We will also publish
 +
Verisign contact and customer support contact information on our .verisign website.  To the
 +
extent .verisign allows registrations by individuals, Verisign will protect such confidential
 +
information of such registrants in substantially the same manner as we protect the confidential
 +
information of registrants in .name"<ref>[https://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus/applicationdetails/1300 Application Download, gTLDresult.ICANN.org] Retrieved 2 Mar 2013</ref>
