.home is a new TLD proposed to ICANN's New gTLD Program.
Current Applicants[edit | edit source]
- GoDaddy, the largest ICANN accredited registrar submitted an application for the TLD. Its application is confirmed by Warren Adelman, CEO of GoDaddy. According to Adelman, .home string offers multiple meanings and opportunities. Entities will be able to use it in a personal or real estate context. [1]
- Top Lvel Domains Holding, a company engaged in acquiring, operating and providing TLD consultancy services and back-end registry solutions confirmed that the .home string was one of the 68 TLDs applied for by the company on its behalf.[2]
- Uniregistry, a new registry operator headed by Frank Schilling also applied for the string.[3]
- Donuts (Baxter Pike, LLC), one of 307 applications submitted by the company
- Dot Home LLC
- Dothome Ltd. (Defender Direct), formerly an application submitted by DotHome / CGR E-Commerce Ltd[4]
- Google (Charleston Road Registry Inc.)
- HOME REGISTRY INC.
- Lifestyle Domain Holdings, Inc.
- Merchant Law Group LLP
- Radix (DotHome Inc.), a subsidiary of Directi Group that was created to submit 31 TLD applications
Radix[edit | edit source]
Radix received a GAC Early Warning as an entire applicant, where each one of the applicants was flagged by the U.S. Government. This seems to be the only time a portfolio applicant had all of their applications warned. The issue does not deal with the technical capabilities or thematic content of their applications, but rather the inclusion of an email address associated with the US' Federal Bureau of Investigation. It seems that Radix included correspondence with this address as a recommendation with each of their applications.[5]
Background[edit | edit source]
.Home Application Sold[edit | edit source]
In the first instance of an application being sold, the application originally submitted by DotHome / CGR E-Commerce Ltd was amended to remove all references to that company and its leadership and were replaced with references to Dothome Ltd. (Defender Direct). The original application was associated with the industry veterans Constantine Roussos and Tina Dam. The new applicant is the second largest home security company in the U.S. The changes to the applications were part of 29 application amendments approved by ICANN.[6]
