.roma is a new GeoTLD proposed to the New gTLD Program of the ICANN by Roma TLD. The .roma domain name space is intended to provide a dedicated online space for individuals and businesses operating within the City of Rome.[1]
Minds + Machines will provide the back-end registry services for the .roma TLD. It applied on behalf of the partnership.
GAC Early Warning
The application was issued a GAC Early Warning from Italy; the warning system is noted as a strong recommendation on behalf of national governments to the ICANN Board that a given TLD application should be denied. The Italian government notes that it has no government support.[2] Minds + Machines responded on its website that it intended to furnish evidence to the Italian GAC member that the company had engaged extensively with the Roman government.[3]
