Dot Registry LLC is a new domain registry operator established by Ephraim Gershon, an entrepreneur who created multiple online companies. The company is applying for four corporate-related generic top level domain names (gTLDs); .inc, .corp, .llc and .llp that will be for companies registered in the United States. Shaul Jollesis the CEO of the company and it has offices in Chicago, Illinois and Kansas City, Missouri. [1]
The company selected Neustar to provide back-end registry services. According to Jolles, consumers will benefit from the proposed TLDs because it would be easier for them to identify if a company is legitimate while owners of companies will be guaranteed that they can register a domain name that matches their business name, which would increase consumer confidence and revenue. The company claimed that its application for the four TLDs is supported by different US secretaries of state.[2]
The National Association of Secretaries of State has concerns over the proposed TLDs and requested ICANN to require restrictions and should be "extended only to legally and appropriately registered with the Secretaries of State, or the equivalent state agency" if it will approve any of the four strings.
