More information:

.aarp is a Brand gTLD proposed to ICANN's New gTLD Program by AARP, a non-profit, non-partisan membership organization dedicated in advocating for and helping older Americans age 50+ have access to important information, products and services for their benefit. AARP's goal in applying for the delegation of the domain name string in the root zone in the internet domain name (DNS) and to manage its registry operations is to protect its brand and to use it as a "trusted, hierarchical, and intuitive" domain name space for AARP, its affiliates, subsidiaries, members and internet users. If approved by ICANN, the organization plans to implement a four-stage roll-out to ensure the success of its transition from delegation to operation. Verisign will serve as its back-end registry service provider.
