.abogado is a TLD in ICANN's New gTLD Program. Top Level Domain Holdings Ltd. is the only applicant; the company has submitted a total of 68 applications on its own behalf.[1] It was delegated to the Root Zone of the DNS on the 15th October, 2014, completing the successful application for the string.[2]
Application Details[edit | edit source]
"The purpose of the .ABOGADO top-level domain is to offer licensed attorneys an exclusive opportunity to present themselves on the Internet to a Spanish-speaking audience."[3]
The TLD will be restricted to licensed attorneys with pre-registration verification:
"We are grateful to adopt the applicable recommendations of the Security Standards Working Group(“SSWG”) which developed a set of registry security standards, in conjunction with the development of ICANN’s Applicant Guidebook. Although developed for finance-related gTLD strings, many of the safeguards proposed in that context are adopted and will be operated by the .ABOGADO Registry. More particularly, the .ABOGADO registry will adopt and implement the following Standards set out in Appendix B to the letter sent by BITS to ICANN referenced in Question 30 in the Guidebook, namely Standards 1,2,3,4,5,8,9,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,24,and 27.
As a result of the application of these standards, there will be pre-verification of all attorney registrants, who will be required to demonstrate that they hold a valid license to practice law in their designated country or other legal jurisdiction. Electronic interfaces with the relevant legal bar associations or other trusted repositories to speed the registration process will be developed. Proxy registrations will not be permitted."[4]
