| Welcome to ICANNWiki |
|
The .so domain is an Open Use ccTLD, with no registration restrictions at the top level.
- com.so is for commercial entities and registered trademarks.
- net.so is for Internet-related services (ISPs, web hosting, portal sites, etc.).
- org.so is for non-profit organizations.
- On December 30, 2021, in a CircleID blog post, Jeff Neuman questioned the practicality of ICANN’s Accountability Mechanisms, called for ICANN's Whistleblower Policy to extend to persons other than employees of ICANN, and accused ICANN of retaliating against DHH for filing an Urgent Reconsideration Request citing ICANN staff's inaction in responding to its Assignment Request for the .hiphop Registry Agreement. ICANN has paused any further consideration of DHH’s Assignment request pending the outcome of the Reconsideration Request by the ICANN Board Accountability Mechanisms Committee (BAMC).
- On January 5, 2022, ICANN responded to the .hiphop situation, and the Uniregistry assignments generally.
- On January 10, 2022, Monte Cahn, the President of Right of the Dot, founder and former CEO of Moniker, and former President of SnapNames announced his partnership with Neuman and Digital Asset Monetary Network to become the registry operator for .hiphop.
