'''[[.pw The Professional Web]]''' is the re-launched [[registry]] for the newly [[ccTLD#Open ccTLD|Opened ccTLD]] for Palau, [[.pw]]. [[The Professional Web]] is a subsidiary of [[Directi]], which operates prominent registrars, hosting, and development companies, and is also an applicant for 30 [[New gTLD Program|new gTLDs]]. Despite these applications, the launching of the now-open ccTLD represents the Directi group's first active [[registry]] operation. The official launch of the [[TLD]] is [[ICANN 45]] in Toronto, with a [[Sunrise Period| sunrise period]] beginning in December, 2012.

The .pw ccTLD was delegated to the Pacific island nation of Palau in 1997. It has been redelegated a number of times, and [[Directi]] obtained exclusive rights over the .pw - The Professional Web in 2004 from [[EnCirca]], the [[registrar]] that originally launched the eponymous acronym. Prior plans for the ccTLD were to create a bundled social media and messaging product, though that project did not come to fruition, and so the ccTLD has seen little registration and is consequently now open for wide growth
<div class="icannwiki-clearfix"></div>


Technical registry functions will be handled by [[CentralNic]], which will support [[DNSSEC]], [[IPv6]], and multiple [[IDN]]s. While the Directi group includes its own registrars, such as [[LogicBoxes]] and [[ResellerClub]], it is also looking for other registrars to sell .pw.

Directi is valued at $300+ million. With more than 1,000 employees, the company serves over 1,000,000 customers and has 50,000+ channel partners, which is growing at a rate of 120% per annum. Its other subsidiaries include [[LogicBoxes]],[[ResellerClub]], [[WebHosting.Info]], [[Skenzo]], [[BigRock]] and [[Radix]]. The latter is an applicant for 31 [[New gTLD Program|new gTLDs]], which has secured over $31 million in investment for its applications and future registry operations.

Current Focus

Our focus this season is: ccTLDs. Our community is working together on surfacing information about these stakeholders, including going over documents, blog posts, Working Groups (including the already great article on Working Groups!), and all other relevant information.

Where to start

Getting started is as simple as requesting an account, which will be approved as long as it does not appear to be intended for spam or malice. Then, make sure to read our short content guide to get a feel for what belongs in the wiki. You may also want to have a look at some data source suggestions on where to find reliable data. That's it, happy editing!
