.search is a proposed TLD in ICANN's New gTLD Program.

Applicants[edit | edit source]

  1. Amazon
  2. Donuts (Bitter McCook, LLC)
  3. Famous Four Media (dot Now Limited)
  4. Google (Charleston Road Registry Inc.)[1]

GAC Early Warnings[edit | edit source]

The applications from Amazon and Google were issued a GAC Early Warning from the representative of Australia and GAC Chair, Heather Dryden. The warning system is noted as a strong recommendation on behalf of national governments to the ICANN Board that a given TLD application should be denied as it stands. Applicants are encouraged to work with objecting GAC members.[2]

The warning states that the applicant is "seeking exclusive access to a common generic string .. that relates to a broad market sector," which Ms. Dryden notes could have unintended consequences and a negative impact on competition.[3]
