Previous Applicants
- Tucows - WITHDRAWN in July 2013.[1] It withdrew its applications weeks after Uniregistry, due to a buy-out by Donuts. Apparently, Tucows had cut its own deal to remove Uniregistry from the contention set; Uniregistry CEO, Frank Schilling, remarked that he would never have struck the deal with Tucows had he known that it would in turn cut its own deal with Donuts.[2]
- Uniregistry, Corp.[3]
Deal between Tucows and Donuts
