.map is a delegated TLD in ICANN's New gTLD Program.
On June 9, 2016, ICANN and Charleston Road Registry Inc[1] (a subsidiary of Google), entered into a Registry Agreement under which Charleston Road Registry Inc., operates the .map top-level domain.[2]
The Delegation Record was issued on June 8th, 2017.[3]
Applicants[edit | edit source]
- Amazon - filed 30 Apr 2014[4], application has subsequently been withdrawn.[5]
- Demand Media (United TLD Holdco Ltd.) - This applicant submitted a Public Interest Commitment, which can be downloaded here.
- Google (Charleston Road Registry Inc.)[6] FairSearch.org filed a Community Objection against this application.[7] Google prevailed.[8]
Amazon[edit | edit source]
Amazon's application 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.[9]
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.[10]
