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

Current Applicants

  1. Top Level Domain Holdings - It is one of 68 applications that Top Level Domain Holdings Ltd. has filed for on its own behalf.[1]
  2. Uniregsitry, Corp - Domainer Frank Schilling's company applied for 54 TLDs.[2]
  3. Donuts (Lone Tigers, LLC) - .video is one of 307 applications by Donuts.
  4. Amazon - applied for 76 new TLDs.[3]

Amazon

Amazon's application was issued a GAC Early Warning from the representative of Australia and GAC Chair, Heather Dryden. 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 as it stands. Applicants are encouraged to work with objecting GAC members.[4]

The warning states that the applicant is "seeking exclusive access to a common generic string .. that relates to a broad market sector," which Ms. Dryden notes could have unintended consequences and a negative impact on competition.[5]
