Priority #: 1244 - Donuts (Trixy Manor, LLC)

More information:

.network is a proposed TLD in ICANN's New gTLD Program. The applicant is Donuts (Trixy Manor, LLC).[1]

Application Details edit

Many of Donuts' applications, including this one, seem to have been applied for using the same boiler-plate application in which the TLD is defined as a means of providing greater expression on the Internet and will be an open TLD without pre-registration policies. It notes its plans to adhere with all registration policies required by ICANN and its intent to have remediation and takedown policies clearly defined to fit within these requirements. Pre-registration verification will not be used and this as defined as causing "cause more harm than benefit by denying domain access to legitimate registrants." They intend to control abuse through "extensive user and rights protections."[2]

Contract Signed edit

On 14 November 2013, Donuts received a Registry Agreement signed by ICANN for .network after passing all the required processes needed to become a Registry Operator for the string.[3]

Name Collision Issues edit

In October 2013 ICANN released their final assessment and mitigation plan for the Name Collision issue that was facing the New gTLD program. On 18 November 2013, ICANN announced the applied-for strings that were eligible for an alternative path towards delegation that would allow applicants to proceed without waiting for further mitigation research and plans to be published. 25 strings, including .network, were not eligible for the alternative path, and will have to wait for more plans to be published before continuing towards delegation.[4]
