.casa is a proposed TLD in ICANN's New gTLD Program.
Former Applicants
- Top Level Domain Holdings Ltd.. It is one of 68 applications that the company has filed on its own behalf.[1] This applicant submitted a Public Interest Commitment, which can be downloaded here.
- Donuts (Extra Way, LLC), a start-up registry operator, which invested $56 million just for application fees for 307 new gTLDs.[2] This applicant submitted a Public Interest Commitment, which can be downloaded here.
GoDaddy Withdraws
GoDaddy had originally applied for .casa, but in March 2013, the company announced that it was withdrawing its applications for .casa and .home, and only sticking with its Brand TLD application for .godaddy. It was noted that it was withdrawing its applications to focus on its core registrar business, thereby removing competition with competitive applicants it could work with as future registries and eliminating concerns that it will promote its own TLDs ahead of others'. The announcements were made at an event, Registry Days, meant to open a dialogue between the world's largest registrar and new gTLd applicants.[3] The applications were withdrawn in time to receive a 70% refund for each of the $185,000 application fees.
Auction
In an August 2013 auction, Top Level Domain Holdings Ltd. prevailed as the winner. The total amount was not disclosed though the 8 total auctions that were cumulatively valued at $9.65 million.[4]
Contract Signed
On November 21, 2013 TLDH received a Registry Agreement signed by ICANN for .casa after passing the Initial Evaluation.[5]
