Current Applicant[edit | edit source]
- Momentous (Vox Populi Registry Inc.) - This applicant submitted a Public Interest Commitment (PIC), which can be downloaded here.
Private Auction[edit | edit source]
A private auction resolved the contention set for this string in November 2014, with Vox Populi Registry winning the rights for the gTLD.[1]
Previous Applicants[edit | edit source]
- Top Level Spectrum, Inc. (Jay Westerdal)[2]
- Donuts (Dog Bloom, LLC) - This applicant submitted a Public Interest Commitment, which can be downloaded here.
PICs[edit | edit source]
Momentous and Donuts both submitted PICs. Donuts' lays out its protection mechanisms that are uniform across nearly all of its TLDs, while Momentous notably commits their potential .sucks registry from expert evaluation panel to identify cyberbullying, pornographic sites, and parked pages, which are then to be subject to rapid takedown.[3]
Objection[edit | edit source]
Saudi Arabia's Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) filed an objection against the TLD, on the grounds that it might also be used by pornographic sites.[4]
