Google Registry to announce: .BOO & .RSVP new gTLDs

Two Top-Level Domains operated by Google Registry are awaiting their Sunrise Launch according to the Trademark Clearinghouse:
  1. .BOO new gTLD:
    1. SUNRISE PERIOD START: Tuesday, 4 October,
    2. SUNRISE PERIOD END: Monday, 7 November,
    3. CLAIMS NOTIFICATION PERIOD START: Tuesday, 8 November, 2022.

      Google on .BOO (extracted from the application): "The proposed gTLD will provide the marketplace with direct association to the term, ʺboo.ʺ The mission of this gTLD, .boo, is to provide a dedicated domain space in which to enact creative second-level domains related to the term ʺboo.ʺ Charleston Road Registry believes that registrants will find value in associating with this gTLD, which could have a number of meanings and uses. Charleston Road Registry expects that these uses may include but are not limited to applications such as terms of endearment (hey.boo, youremy.boo)."

  2. .RSVP new gTLD:
    1. SUNRISE PERIOD START: Tuesday, 4 October,
    2. SUNRISE PERIOD END: Monday, 7 November,
    3. CLAIMS NOTIFICATION PERIOD START: Tuesday, 8 November, 2022

      Google on .RSVP (extracted from the application): "The proposed gTLD will provide the marketplace with direct association to the term, ʺrsvp,ʺ which is an acronym of the French phrase ʺrépondez sʹil vous plaît,ʺ which translates to English as ʺplease reply.ʺ ʺRSVPʺ is commonly used as a verb to denote response to an invitation. The mission of the proposed gTLD, .rsvp, is to provide a dedicated domain space in which registrants can enact second-level domains that relate to physical or online events where a response is sought. This mission will enhance consumer choice by providing new availability in the second-level domain space, creating new layers of organization on the Internet, and signaling the kind of content available in the domain. Charleston Road Registry believes that registrants will find value in associating with this gTLD, as supported by the prevalence of events, birthdays, weddings, and other celebrations occurring around the world each day. Evite, one of the primary U.S. providers of online invitations, reports 219 million invitations are created by users annually, further substantiating the demand potential in the proposed gTLD [Source: http:⁄⁄new.evite.com⁄content⁄about_us]."

Fast note: I am French and I never used "RSVP" to say or write ʺrépondez sʹil vous plaîtʺ. This must be something from Canada (they also speak French there) ;-) Of course I am joking.
