Application for Japan’s First GeoTLD .Nagoya Open to Trademark Holders
GMO Registry, Inc announced the opening of the new geographic top-level domain name, .Nagoya. The application is open only to trademark holders in the first stage.
You can read the press release after the jump :
“GMO Internet Group company, GMO Registry, Inc. today announced the opening of new geographic top-level domain, .nagoya. In the first stage of the launch, application is open exclusively to trademark holders to protect both trademark rights and the integrity of the .nagoya namespace.
The new domain, .nagoya represents the city of Nagoya, in Aichi prefecture, central Japan. Birthplace to the three samurais that shaped an entire nation, Nagoya is a city rich in history and culture. Today, Nagoya is part of Japan’s third largest metropolitan region with a population of almost 9 million. One of the country’s most significant industrial and trade centers, Nagoya is also home to multinational giants like Toyota Motor Corporation.
The aim of .nagoya is to promote the city and provide a platform for communication between Nagoya and the world. No local address is required to register a domain name. The .nagoya TLD is an ideal choice for a targeted local marketing strategy, or could be used by any business or individual who wants to link their online identity to Japan.
Speaking at the official launch of .nagoya at the Marriott Hotel in Nagoya today, Nagoya Mayor, Takashi Kawamura said, “The City of Nagoya is a global leader not only in the automotive industry, but in fields as diverse as aviation, precision manufacturing and fine ceramics. With the launch of new domain, .nagoya today, we look forward to showcasing the City of Nagoya to the world.”
Background
In March 2012, GMO Registry submitted a proposal to the City of Nagoya presenting a vision for .nagoya that would raise awareness of the Nagoya city brand both domestically and globally. After undergoing a rigorous evaluation GMO Registry received official support from the Nagoya government to proceed with .nagoya. GMO Registry then submitted an application to the Internet Corporation of Names and Numbers (ICANN) and after successfully moving through the evaluation process, the company signed an agreement with ICANN to operate new GeoTLD, .nagoya on October 24, 2013. .nagoya is the first of a number of GeoTLD launches planned by GMO Registry. Both .tokyo and .yokohama are slated to open in April this year.
Launch Phases
Sunrise Phase: Priority registration phase for trademark holders
Date: February 20, 2014 12:00pm (JST) – April 21, 2014 23:59 (JST)
Land Rush Phase: Advance registration (open eligibility)
Date: April 28, 2014 12:00pm (JST) – June 13, 2014 23:59 (JST)
General Availability: Open first-come-first-served registration
Date: From June 23, 2014 12:00pm (JST)”
AFNIC : The Development Potential for the Upcoming 5 French GeoTLDs
The Industry Report on Domain Names released this month by AFNIC, the company behind .FR domain extension, focuses on the market represented by the geographic areas covered by the .Corsica, .Paris, .Alsace, .Aquitaine and .BZH gTLDs.
You can read the announcement after the jump :
“The Afnic Industry Report on Domain Names focuses this month on the market represented by the geographic areas covered by the .paris, .alsace, .aquitaine, .corsica and .bzh GeoTLDs. To back the study, Afnic uses the data for the .fr TLD on the catchment areas involved, making a distinction between individual and corporate domain-name holders.
For individual holders, the average ratio for the whole of the .fr TLD is 16 domain names registered by individuals per 1,000 inhabitants, with disparities according to the regions, namely 12 domain names for Corsica, 13 for Brittany, 16 for Alsace and Aquitaine, and 68 for Paris.
For corporate holders, the average ratio for the whole of the .fr TLD is 644 domain names registered by corporate holders per 1,000 companies, with disparities according to the regions, namely 291 domain names for Corsica, 492 for Aquitaine, 602 for Brittany, 688 for Alsace and 984 for Paris.
These results show that:
In the short term, the development potential for the .paris, .alsace, .aquitaine, .corsica and .bzh GeoTLDs lies with companies, which are more mature and have greater demand for their communication purposes on the Internet.
In the medium and long term, the development potential for the 5 French GeoTLDs lies with individuals.”

NameJet Partners with Top Level Design,LLC to bring the new gTLD .WIKI to the Domain Name Marketplace
Top Level Design, LLC, the applicant for the new gTLD .WIKI, selected NameJet to operate both the sunrise and the landrush auctions .
You can read the press release after the jump:
” Top Level Design, LLC, the applicant for the new top level domain .wiki, has selected NameJet, the leading domain name auction platform, to operate the sunrise and landrush auctions and help with future premium auctions.
NameJet provides .wiki the complete auction solution needed to manage the .wiki launch. NameJet’s proven platform, by which millions of names are made available and sold, is poised to help bring new .wiki domain names to market with Sunrise expected to begin in March, 2014. Additional details will be made available on NameJet’s New TLDs page as they become available. “The introduction of the .wiki top level domain is a historic event in the evolution of the Internet and we’re excited to be a part of launching such a dynamic TLD,” said Matt Overman, General Manager of NameJet.
The .wiki TLD will make wikis more valuable through greater visibility and ease of use. Most Internet users are familiar with the concept of wikis, thanks to Wikipedia.org’s status as one of the most highly trafficked websites in the world. “There is something unique and magical about wiki’s revolutionary publishing style that will continue to bring like-minded people together to create amazing and ever growing resources,” said Raymond King, CEO, Top Level Design LLC.
The .wiki TLD is targeting four major demographic markets: enterprise wikis, enthusiast wikis, developer wikis and individual wikis.
Enterprise wikis are best suited to organizations and corporations. The most innovative and organized companies already bring their staff together via wiki.
Enthusiast wikis provide a platform to organize information based on shared common interests. The .wiki TLD will empower a revolution for fandom, hobbyists, and academics. Wikipedia is the largest example of an enthusiast wiki, but Top Level Design hopes to foster a boom in specialty wikis.
Developer wikis are the natural place to host development and open source projects. It is visible and accessible, and it creates an intuitive space for any groups that develop through collaboration. Most developers are already connected and working with their colleagues via wiki, and so the new namespace will become a natural home base for them.
An individual wiki focuses closely on a person or family, with a .wiki domain name dedicated to an individual, one can participate in the creation process and invite others to do the same. The result will likely be quite different but complementary to a well-written Wikipedia biography.”
