Nouvelles extensions Internet : URS ou UDRP ?

J’ai hésité à plusieurs reprises avant de choisir le titre de cet article. J’hésitais entre celui indiqué ci-dessus (plus Corporate) et les deux ci-après: “Nouveaux gTLDs: si j’étais un cybersquatteur...” et, “Nouveaux gTLDs: l’URS, le nouvel outil des cybersquatteurs”.

Dans la “vraie vie”, j’aurais opté pour le troisième titre car les marques ont vraiment du souci à se faire dans les prochaines années. Entre sa marque qu’il faudra défendre à chaque fois qu’une personne mal intentionnée enregistrera la dite marque en .sucks ou en .wtf (qui veut aussi dire en anglais “what the fuck”) et le budget explosif associé à l’enregistrement défensif de nouveaux noms de domaine, le temps perdu à tenter de trouver “qui” intente à votre marque et quelles sont les démarches à entreprendre pour faire face, il est une méthode - jusqu’à aujourd’hui déjà très bien utilisée par les cybersquatteurs - qui devrait causer beaucoup plus de tort aux marques. Quel responsable des noms de domaine pour le compte de son Entreprise n’a pas déjà reçu d’e-mails pour racheter un nom de domaine curieusement proche de sa marque ?

Who Are the Major New gTLD Applicants : part 5: Rightside Registry

Rightside is a name you may only have heard of very recently. It is a relative newcomer in the new gTLD industry. It is important to note that there is a difference between "Rightside" and "Rightside Registry". One is the Trademark and also the name of this new group to which eNom (a Registrar), Namejet (a platform to buy/sell domain names and Premium domains) and Name.com (another Registrar) belong. As for "Rightside Registry", it is the new name of the platform to operate new gTLD applications such as .attorney .pub .ninja. .democrat .rehab .social, etc… United TLD Holdco Ltd is the previous name of the company; the name under which it used to apply for 26 applications.

Registry for .BID just launched

What is the .BID registry?

Online auctions are now a part of everyday life for hundreds of millions of people and it’s not surprising: they are far more convenient than attending a frenzied auction house bidding process (there’s no need to feel self-conscious about your bidding etiquette, or lack of; the timing of the online auction is precise; you don’t have to sit through several auctions for items you’re not interested in while you wait for the one you are; and so on), and nowadays online markets exist for trading just about anything.

The new .BID Top Level Domain name creates an online environment where buyers and sellers can rapidly locate the auction in which they wish to participate. Those wishing to sell their products are no longer tied to the large auction websites to tap into a ready customer base but can create their own, safe in the knowledge that their auctions are easy to find through the familiar .BID domain extension. A .BID domain name provides a convenient, trusted name anchor that stands out on the web, and prospective bidders will be drawn to it by its clear message and the fact that they can trade with confidence in a dedicated namespace.

The use of .BID domain name improves online searches dramatically as global buyers and sellers are more easily able to identify the content of relevance to them, which in turn drives website traffic increasing trade and enhancing the auction process.

Who Are the Major New gTLD Applicants and… (Part 4: Donuts)

...what is their approach to bringing new domain names to market?

Donuts is an applicant that threw the entire domain name industry into uproar due to the number of applications it submitted: 307 in total. Recent figures about Donuts are available here.

It is hardly surprising that whenever new gTLDs are mentioned in the media that Donuts are mentioned alongside due to shear number of applications that they have submitted. There are dozens of articles in the media mixing information and opinions about Donuts. Often, they address the benefits to those registrants who are excited about the possibility of acquiring a new domain name and the threats to those who have an existing .COM domain name portfolio.

A milestone is reached: you are now 1500 to follow new gTLDs on LinkedIn

Arno Vis is the CEO of Openprovider, one of the largest ICANN accredited domain registrars in the Netherlands.

Arno became subscriber n°1500 to the new generic Top-Level Domains group today. And...did I forget to mention that Openprovider has a special section dedicated to new gTLDs ?

Some would say that 1500 subscribers is not so much ... but it is the largest group worldwide dedicated to sending info and sharing knowledge about new gTLDs. The group is for professionals and non-professionals interested in new gTLDs, for english and non-english speakers.
