.broker is a new generic top level domain name (gTLD) proposed to the New gTLD Program of ICANN.
Current Applicants[edit | edit source]
The applicants are:[1]
- IG Group Holdings PLC, a company based in Great Britain
- Donuts (Spring North, LLC), The company submitted applications for 307 new gTLDs.[2]
IG Group Holdings PLC[edit | edit source]
The application from IG Group Holdings PLC was issued a GAC Early Warning from the representative of Australia and GAC Chair, Heather Dryden. The warning system is noted as a strong recommendation on behalf of national governments to the ICANN Board that a given TLD application should be denied as it stands. Applicants are encouraged to work with objecting GAC members.[3] The warning states that the applicant is "seeking exclusive access to a common generic string .. that relates to a broad market sector," which Ms. Dryden notes could have unintended consequences and a negative impact on competition.[4]
