Donuts has consulted with and evaluated the ideas of international law enforcement, consumer privacy advocacy organizations, intellectual property interests and other Internet industry groups to create a set of protections that far exceed those in existing TLDs, and bring to the Internet namespace nearly two dozen new rights and protection mechanisms to raise user safety and protection to a new level."<ref>[http://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus/applicationdetails/802 Application Download, gTLDresult.ICANN.org] Retrieved 1 Mar 2013</ref>

==Ownership Transfer to Rightside==
 +
Donuts applied for .degree through Outer Lake, LLC which is a subsidiary of [[Covered TLD, LLC]]. Donuts used Covered TLD to apply for 107 of its 307 New gTLD applications, and it is believed that Rightside (through subsidiary United TLD Holdco) has the option to gain an ownership stake in the TLD applications under Covered TLD. Thus there are a number of the 107 TLDs under Covered TLD in which ownership was transferred from Donuts to Rightside.<ref>[http://domainnamewire.com/2014/01/13/donuts-assigns-rights-to-futbol-and-reviews-top-level-domains-to-demand-medias-rightside/ Donuts Assigns Rights to .futbol and .reviews TLDs to Demand Media's Rightside, DomainNameWire.com] Retrieved 04 June 2014</ref>
