Neustrar has signed a deal to provide back-end registry services to DotGay LLC, one of the companies hoping to apply for .gay as a new top-level domain. There are currently two companies planning to apply for .gay that I’m aware of. The other, the Dot Gay Alliance, has chosen Minds + Machines as its back-end partner. The positioning is quite interesting. Scott Seitz, CEO of DotGay, played up the need for more security and stability in a TLD that may find itself the target of homophobic cyber-attacks. In a press release due out tomorrow, Seitz says: While security is always a concern for any gTLD, the GLBT community is at a higher risk of discrimination, making system integrity a critical component in the selection of a registry partner. Neustar, which runs .biz and several other TLDs, has more experience running high-traffic registries than M+M. However, this fact will likely not be relevant to which company wins .gay. Under the ICANN new TLDs program, applicants have to prove themselves capable of running a registry, but contested TLD applicants are not compared against each other based on technical prowess. It’s much more likely that the two (or more) .gay applications will live or die based on community support or, failing that, how much money they are prepared to pay at auction. The .gay TLD is likely to also be a flashpoint for controversy due to ongoing debates about governments’ ability to block TLDs based on “morality and public order†objections. Recent mainstream media coverage has focused on .gay as a likely test case for governmental veto powers. http://domainincite.com/neustar-win...te+(DomainIncite.com)&utm_content=Yahoo!+Mail
haha .gay ;D can i get article source? a cheap thinking.. soon they will be offering top level .sex tdl as well
It is amazing to see the variety of new extensions coming out. I have not heard of this one and have a hard time believing it. We will see I guess if this comes true or not.
Just imagine those funny urls: casino.gay car.gay business.gay apple.gay seo.gay computer.gay microsoft.gay nike.gay corporation.gay digitalpoint.gay ... just pure non-sense.
just another way for domainers to steal good domains and make more sales.... .com will always rule but whatever... it will force domain owners to want to buy their .gay equivalent if they are selling in the "gay" markets.... maybe this was part of the stimulus package for america .... lol ....
If I was anyone here on DP, I'd be buying a few of those domains as quick as you can with like a.gay etc, good profit will be made in a few years. ~ Slutz ~
