Application Details
The following is excerpted from the applicant's response to question #18:
"The .infosys gTLD will create a new generation gTLD serving the interests of end users by providing an authoritative Internet space where information, services and resources of the Infosys brand, its affiliates and partners that are associated with the Infosys brand will be closely controlled by Infosys Limited (Infosys). The majority of the anticipated domain name registrations in the .infosys gTLD will be used in the promotion and communication of the Infosys brand and business and technology consulting services. A subset of domain names under the .infosys gTLD has the potential to be created and used for delivery of Infosys services, products and platforms, as well as for communication and marketing purposes, with internet users assured of brand authenticity.
