QVC is still analyzing potential options for the type of second-level domain names that it will use within the .QVC gTLD in order to best develop a namespace that will foster an intuitive, trusted, safe and marketable environment for Internet users and consumers that will provide them with authoritative content and up-to-date brand information. To achieve this goal of a secure and trusted environment, QVC will operate the .QVC gTLD as a closed single-registrant registry to ensure that all second-level domain names in the gTLD will be controlled by QVC and its affiliates."[2]
