.chat is a proposed TLD in ICANN's New gTLD Program.

Current Applicants

The applicants for the .chat TLD are: [1]

  1. Radix, .chat is one of 31 applications submitted by the company.[2]
  2. Famous Four Media (dot Chat Limited), a registry service provider based in Gibraltar that applied for 61 new gTLDs. [3]
  3. Donuts (Sand Fields, LLC), a start-up registry operator that filed for 307 new gTLDs. [4]
  4. Top Level Spectrum, Inc., Jay Westerdal, is the president of the company. He is also the founder & CEO of Name Intelligence, a company that offers solutions for centralized domain management and intellectual property protection.

Radix

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.[5]
