More information:

.sucks is a delegated TLD in ICANN's New gTLD Program. Momentous (Vox Populi) is the manager and registry for .sucks. The proposed application succeeded and was delegated to the Root Zone on 24 February, 2015.[1]

Current Applicant[edit | edit source]

  1. Momentous (Vox Populi Registry Inc.) - This applicant submitted a Public Interest Commitment (PIC), which can be downloaded here.

Private Auction[edit | edit source]

A private auction resolved the contention set for this string in November 2014, with Vox Populi Registry winning the rights for the gTLD.[2]

Previous Applicants[edit | edit source]

  2. Donuts (Dog Bloom, LLC) - This applicant submitted a Public Interest Commitment, which can be downloaded here.

PICs[edit | edit source]

Momentous and Donuts both submitted PICs. Donuts' lays out its protection mechanisms that are uniform across nearly all of its TLDs, while Momentous notably commits their potential .sucks registry from expert evaluation panel to identify cyberbullying, pornographic sites, and parked pages, which are then to be subject to rapid takedown.[4]

Objection[edit | edit source]

Saudi Arabia's Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) filed an objection against the TLD, on the grounds that it might also be used by pornographic sites.[5]

Availability[edit | edit source]

After noticing an influx of applications during its TMCH sunrise period, Vox Populis, the TLD's Registry decided to extend this period for an additional 3 weeks. General availability will begin two days after the end of this new sunrise period on June 21, 2015. [6]
