Application Details[edit | edit source]
The following is excerpted from the applicant's response to question #18
".QPON’s mission is to provide a secure and reliable domain name registry service that helps consumers find great deals and offers on a wide variety of products and services without needing to search endlessly to find them.
Our purpose is to foster healthy competition in the current TLD space by allowing anyone in the world to register a useful and meaningful domain name that allows them to promote deals and great offers while making it easy for consumers to save money. .. The .QPON registry will implement standard registration policies following international best practices to best inform and protect registrants, allowing anyone in the world to register a .QPON domain. There will be no specific business rules or limitations put on those wishing to register a .QPON domain, allowing for a simple and unencumbered registration process. The creation of the policies governing a new TLD is often one of those most daunting and time-consuming tasks; therefore, we are working closely with Neustar, our back-end registry services provider, and its policy and legal team, which has many years of domain industry experience, including specific experience in working with ICANN, constructing consensus policies, devising sunrise and land rush processes, and creating TLD specific policies. All policies will be in accordance with those outlined in the “Draft New gTLD Registry Agreement,” including, but not limited to, Specification 1 – Consensus Policies and Temporary Policies, Specification 5 – Schedule of Reserved Names at the Second Level in gTLD Registries, Specification 7 – Minimum Requirements for Rights Protection Mechanisms, and Specification 9 – Registry Operator Code of Conduct."[3]
