'''Dot Kiwi Ltd''' is the company behind the proposal for the [[.kiwi]] TLD within [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program]]. Dot Kiwi Ltd. was founded in 2012 by a group of businessmen in New Zealand, and ex-pat New Zealanders based in Canada, whose aim is to create a unique national namespace while also giving back to the country, such as through work rebuilding the city of Christchurch, which was devastated by an earthquake in February 2011. While [[.kiwi]] is technically a generic TLD, as it did not need the qualifications to require government support as [[Geo TLD]]s do, it is still a widely identified term for the people of New Zealand.<ref>[http://www.dot-kiwi.com/about-dot-kiwi/ The Dot Kiwi Story]</ref> <ref> [http://www.dot-kiwi.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/PR-Set-for-kiwi-flavour.pdf Internet set to have a more Kiwi flavour]</ref>

InternetNZ president Frank March said that there is a possibility that his company will also apply for the dot kiwi string. On the other hand, Thrush said that if another organization also applied for the string and unable to reach a compromise agreement to operate the registry, the solution is for ICANN to auction the dot kiwi TLD. According to Thrush, dot kiwi domain names will be sold for $25 each per year. <ref>[http://www.dot-kiwi.com/about-dot-kiwi/ Dot Kiwi to enhance patriotic flavour of websites]</ref>
