In June 2013, Top Level Design LLC participated in the first round of private gTLD Auctions held by Innovative Auctions. The auction resulted in Donuts out-bidding Top Level Design in the .photography contention set.[1] CEO, Raymond King, was quoted as saying, ""The applicant auction process was great, the software functioned without a hitch and all of the folks involved were responsive and highly professional. We look forward to participating in future auctions with Innovative Auctions."[2]

Top Level Design has contracted CentralNic for its backend registry services and is using Iron Mountain for its required data escrow services.[3]

This site, ICANNWiki.com, is also managed by Raymond King. The ICANNWiki team would like to note that its content and presentation of new gTLD information will in no way interfere with or be compromised by the separate Top Level Design, LLC venture.
