Application Details edit

The following is excerpted from the applicant's response to question #18:

"The mission and purpose of the proposed .ORACLE Top Level Domain (TLD) is the creation and operation of a TLD dedicated to the ORACLE businesses, brands, trade marks, goods and services. As such the objective is that the .ORACLE TLD will serve as an official, trusted, secure and dedicated name space for the globally renowned ORACLE brand and services.

To this end the Applicant seeks to launch the .ORACLE TLD and to create and operate an innovative and secure platform in a manner which is consistent with its subject matter whilst committing to the promotion of competition, consumer trust, consumer protection and integrity of the ORACLE TLD and the associated Internet space.

The Applicant is committed to ensure that it fully complies and meets or exceeds the requirements of ICANN in terms of competition, consumer protection, security, stability and resiliency, malicious abuse issues, sovereignty concerns, and rights protection in relation to the expansion of the generic Top Level Domain name space by devising and implementing mechanisms in line with ICANN’s Consensus Policies and Temporary Policies.

The Applicant proposes to launch and operate the .ORACLE TLD to create a new Internet ecosystem dedicated to the Applicant and to enable and facilitate innovations, creation and promotion of new initiatives, platforms, applications and ventures from the Applicant and its Affiliates. The domain name space associated with the .ORACLE TLD will create a new environment which will enhance diversity, choice and utility of the Domain Name System, based on a segmented approach, hence encouraging specialisation, differentiation, consumer recognition, and consumer choice in line with ICANN policy development.

In order to ensure the integrity, success and to build confidence in the .ORACLE TLD and the associated domain name space, the Applicant is dedicated to ensuring that appropriate safeguards are put in place with a view to protecting, among other things, public interest, consumers, trade mark owners and other third party rights owners.

Operating and overseeing this new Internet space in a transparent, fair and efficient manner will be essential to create goodwill in the .ORACLE TLD and to develop confidence and trust in the .ORACLE TLD.

The fact that the Applicant intends to operate the .ORACLE TLD as a single registrant⁄single user registry model will allow the Applicant and its Affiliates to control the operations of the .ORACLE TLD and prevent violation of public interest, trade mark infringement and other types of malicious conducts. The .ORACLE TLD will thus create an environment where opportunities for abuse and malevolent conduct will be virtually eliminated.

Furthermore, the Applicant is dedicated to ensuring that the creation and operation of the .ORACLE TLD will not have an adverse or negative affect on the operational security and stability of the Internet and the Domain Name System.
