New gTLDs: "all the info in one place"

I was informed today that it has become difficult to follow all information about new gTLDs and I agree: there is a lot of information published everyday. If I can’t catch it all, I try to catch most of it.

I have decided to add the Newsfeed from NEWSgTLDs.com to gTLD.club.

If you follow the red arrow, there is a link entitled “NEW GTLDS NEWS FROM NEWSGTLDS.COM“. This is the extract of all…

New .WINE and .VIN are now Political Tools

The more I follow the .WINE & .VIN opera, the more I start to believe that the idea is either to kill both new gTLD applications to free space in Round 2 of the ICANN new gTLD program or make this subject a political tool “only” to increase Europe’s presence in ICANN decisions.

Flying high above the sky

If there still is a wish from the European Commission to help .WINE and .VIN to become the…

New gTLDs and the URS (Case Brief: Porsche.Social)

In a prior post, I looked at how the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) evaluates trademarks that incorporate top-level domain names (TLDs). Domain name cybersquatting disputes present similar considerations. The recent Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS) decision – and its reversal on appeal – illustrates the issues…

Qu'il est bon ce .VIN californien

Qu’il est bon ce .VIN californien

Les nouvelles extensions Internet apparaissent peu à peu sur Internet et de nombreux nouveaux sites Web voient le jour. Terminé les noms de domaine qui se terminent en .COM, c’est à présent au tour des .BERLIN, des .CLUB et des .INTERNATIONAL de se faire un nom.

Pourtant, si ces noms tardent à se faire connaître, il existe deux nouvelles extensions, en instance de validation, dont on parle…

The .WINE new gTLD Rumor

It appears that .WINE was recently won in a private auction : if two applications from the three existing ones are soon withdrawn, it means that this pending situation could come to end. Note that at this point, it does not really matter how much was spent to win this Top-Level Domain nor it matters who won the auction because some problems remain to be solved: the protection of wine Geographical…

A profitable Registry (new gTLDs)

A profitable Registry (new gTLDs)

Do Registries need to sell a lot of domain names to be profitable?

They do but in very specific cases, they don’t need to. Read about the .LUXURY example.

Most of the new Registries sell at a low price to encourage Registrars (the reselling network) to promote the Registry’s new domain names. Then accredited Registrars sell these domains at a higher price to their clients: the end users (or…

This Week's Featured TLD is .XYZ

Prior to 2014, there were just 23 generic TLDs – like .Com and .Biz. So far this year alone, over 400 new generic TLDs have launched, including new TLDs like .xyz, .guru, and .club.

This week’s featured TLD is the .XYZ TLD. XYZ.COM LLC applied with ICANN to create the .XYZ TLD in 2012. The XYZ.COM LLC application for the XYZ TLD was quickly approved, and XYZ.COM LLC signed a contract with ICANN…

The .Club TLD is becoming a "community of communities"

Colin Campbell has been an internet pioneer since 1993.

Our team recently dotClub leads the new Top Level Domain Revolution – in my view, it is by far the most successful.

Eat.Club was recently sold for $20,000! I expect over the next 3 years, there will be over 1 million Clubs signed up to dotClub.

Colin recently joined the CEO Registry and the Florida.CEO Community Colin’s Identity page details…

Un .LAGUIOLE au second cycle d'appel à candiatures?

C’est avec un certain amusement que je relis cet article intitulé “Laguiole, à couteaux tirés” (source: http://www.lepoint.fr/art-de-vivre/laguiole-a-couteaux-tires-23-04-2014-1815318_4.php)

Pourtant, si je fais entièrement confiance à tous les Conseils en PI de la planète pour tenter de récupérer la marque “Laguiole”, il est une solution que le village n’a peut être pas encore envisagé.
