The proposed gTLD will provide the marketplace with direct association to the term, ʺmov.ʺ The mission of this gTLD, .mov, is to provide a dedicated domain space in which registrants can enact second-level domains that relate to digital video. Charleston Road Registry expects uses of the gTLD may include but are not limited to unique user content (name.mov), movie file repository services (digitalmemories.mov), or promotional use (brand.mov). Charleston Road Registry believes that registrants will find value in associating with this gTLD, which could have a vast array of purposes for enterprises, small businesses, organizations or individuals seeking to post or manage content associated with the term ʺmov.ʺ This assertion is supported by industry data on online video viewing: 85% of the U.S. online audience watched a total of 43.5 billion online videos in December 2011

Charleston Road Registry believes that given its applicability to a popularly sought Internet activity, the .mov gTLD will best add value to the gTLD space by remaining purely open and unencumbered by registrant restrictions. There will, therefore, be no restrictions on second-level domain name registrations in the proposed gTLD, .mov.
