Employ Media LLC is the registry in charge of .jobs; a gTLD marketed toward the international Human Resource Management community.[1] Employ Media was created through the collaboration of The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), and Verisign in 2005.[2]
Controversial Expansion
According to regulations set forth by ICANN, .jobs was originally intended to be designed as a resource for the HR departments of established corporations. In June of 2010, Employ Media petitioned ICANN to practically re-open .jobs as an entirely redefined TLD, which would be open to individuals interested in creating sites based off geographic location or other defining terms; such as, Chicago.jobs, or Marketing.jobs.[3] This move was undertaken with positive interest from both Employ Media and SHRM.[4]
By August, Employ Media was asking for proposals that would cater to its planned expansion.[5] They drew criticism for the highly controlling, and unorthodox role they planned on taking when accepting and distributing new .jobs domains.[6] ICANN revealed at its December, 2010, conference in Colombia that it would not allow Employ Media to expand beyond its original charter.[7]
