Current Applicants[edit | edit source]
- Interlink (UrbanBrain)
- Radix (DotSite Inc.), one of 31 applications submitted by the company
- Top Level Domain Holdings Ltd., one of 68 applications submitted by the company on its own behalf
- Google (Charleston Road Registry Inc.)
- Donuts (Corn Mill, LLC) one of 307 TLDs applied for by the company. This applicant submitted a Public Interest Commitment, which can be downloaded here.
Radix[edit | edit source]
Radix received a GAC Early Warning as an entire applicant, where each one of the applicants was flagged by the U.S. Government. This seems to be the only time a portfolio applicant had all of their applications warned. The issue does not deal with the technical capabilities or thematic content of their applications, but rather the inclusion of an email address associated with the US' Federal Bureau of Investigation. It seems that Radix included correspondence with this address as a recommendation with each of their applications.[1]
TLDH & $15mm Auction Funding[edit | edit source]
On February 26 2013, Top Level Domain Holdings Ltd. announced that it had entered into a funding agreement worth $15 million to be used in the case of auction for a specific unnamed TLD. The investor will not receive ownership of the TLD but a share of future revenues. TLDH did not name the TLD that the funds are directed for, and it is in 11 head to head contentions and 12 featuring more than one contender.[2]
