The .club domain appears to be a unrestricted [[gTLD]] intended for use by the many professional and amateur clubs found around the world. .CLUB Domains LLC has publicly stated that they have secured funding for their application and the potential auction that may ensue, and also that they have no intention of negotiating with any other company applying for .club but intend to win the auction. Apparently, they have already been approached by other .club applicants and have decided the best way to secure the domain is in open auction.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/tucows-co-founder-takes-hard-line-on-club-gtld/ Tucows coFounder Takes hard Line on Club gTLD]</ref> The company will use the [Digital Archery|digital archery]] solutions of its business affiliate, the [[Digital Archery Experts]]to ensure its inclusion in the first batch of applications to be initially evaluated by ICANN. <ref>[http://dotclub.com/blog.htm .Club Blog-Why is .Club going to be in the first batch? — A response from DigitalArcheryExperts.com]</ref>
