==Application Details==
The following is excerpted from the applicant's response to question #18:

"Amazon intends for its new .FAST gTLD to provide a unique and dedicated platform for stable and secure online communication and interaction.  The .FAST registry will be run in line with current industry standards of good registry practice.
What do you anticipate your proposed gTLD will add to the current space in terms of competition, differentiation or innovation?
Amazon values the opportunity to be one of the first companies to own a gTLD.  A .FAST registry will:
*	Provide Amazon with additional controls over its technical architecture, offering a stable and secure foundation for online communication and interaction. 
*	Provide Amazon a further platform for innovation. 
*	Enable Amazon to protect its intellectual property rights.
What goals does your proposed gTLD have in terms of user experience?
Amazon intends for its new .FAST gTLD to provide a unique and dedicated platform for stable and secure online communication and interaction. 
Provide a complete description of the applicant’s intended registration policies in support of the goals above
Amazon’s Intellectual Property group will be responsible for the development, maintenance and enforcement of a Domain Management Policy.  The Domain Management Policy will define (i) the rules associated with eligibility and domain name allocation, (ii) the license terms governing the use of a .FAST domain name, and (iii) the dispute resolution policies for the .FAST gTLD.  Amazon will continually update the Domain Management Policy as needed to reflect Amazon’s business goals and, where appropriate, ICANN consensus policies. 
Registration of a domain name in the .FAST registry will be undertaken in four steps: (i) Eligibility Confirmation, (ii) Naming Convention Check, (iii) Acceptable Use Review, and (iv) Registration.  All domains in the .FAST registry will remain the property of Amazon.
For example, on the rules of eligibility, each applied for character string must conform to the .FAST rules of eligibility. Each .FAST name must:
* be at least 3 characters and no more than 63 characters long 
* not contain a hyphen on the 3rd and 4th position (tagged domains)
* contain only letters (a-z), numbers (0-9) and hyphens or a combination of these
* start and end with an alphanumeric character, not a hyphen
* not match any character strings reserved by ICANN
* not match any protected country names or geographical terms 
Additionally:
*	Internationalized domain names (IDN) may be supported in the .FAST registry at the second level.  
*	The .FAST registry will respect third party intellectual property rights. 
*	.FAST domains may not be delegated or assigned to third party organizations, institutions, or individuals.
*	All .FAST domains will carry accurate and up-to-date registration records.
Amazon’s Intellectual Property group reserves the right to revoke a license to use a .FAST domain name, at any time, if any use of a .FAST domain name violates the Domain Management Policy.
Will your proposed gTLD impose any measures for protecting the privacy of confidential information of registrants or users?
Yes.  Amazon will implement appropriate privacy policies respecting requirements of local jurisdictions.  For example, Amazon is a participant in the Safe Harbor program developed by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the European Union.   
Describe whether and in what ways outreach and communications will help to achieve your projected benefits?
There is no foreseeable reason for Amazon to undertake public outreach or mass communication about its new gTLD registry because domains will be provisioned in line with Amazon’s business goals."<ref>[http://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus/applicationdetails/962 Application Download, gTLDresult.ICANN.org] Retrieved 28 Feb 2013</ref>
