“CoCCA and IP Clearinghouse, the company that operates CHIP (ClearingHouse for Intellectual Property), have collaborated to allow trademark owners to retroactively (or proactively) associate trademark information with specific domain names in the following country-code extensions: .AF, .CX, .GS, HT,.KI, .NF, .SB and .TL . CHIP is a new technology that is designed to allow trademark owners to efficiently and effectively safeguard and enforce their rights on the Internet, and in particular in the domain name space. More TLDs will follow after the completion of the initial trial.” Click HERE and HERE to learn more.

Tags: Georgia, ICANN, IDN ccTLD A Secession By South Sudan Could Lead To Domain Profit For New CountryPosted January 19th, 2011The average person has little idea how much money there is to be made in Internet real estate. While some were lucky enough to have the foresight 15 years ago to participate in the invisible land grab, it took years for the rest of us to catch on. While most of the “good” (i.e. profitable) domains have been long ago accounted for, there are occasional wells to be tapped in the form of ccTLDs re-appropriated for vanity use. While the world watches South Sudan inch closer to secession, Domain Name Wire points out that this could be a golden opportunity for the emerging country to make a killing on the ccTLD they may choose. Montenegro experienced wild success upon the release of their ccTLD, .ME when they encouraged it’s use as a vanity extension and there is nothing, but imagination stopping another entity from having the same. If South Sudan were to make strategic choices in their Internet identity, it could lead to a huge gain for the new nation continuing the interesting precedent for possibilities of financial stability in emerging countries.

ICANN and UNESCO, in a letter of intent, have Identified the first area of joint collaboration in furtherance of the December 2009 Cooperation Agreement. Under the LOI, both parties will cooperate, each in its area of expertise, to develop a reference table of country names and abbreviations for the benefit of UNESCO’s Member States and countries whose official languages are based on Cyrillic Script. Other languages and scripts are expected to follow. The exact scope of the project is yet to be finalized, but the proposed table would be non-binding in its use. While the existence of a table may assist applicants for IDN ccTLDs in identifying strings, ICANN’s IDN ccTLD Fast Track application process and requirements would not be modified as a result of this project.

The country code for Colombia, .co, is making itself available to the public in June and is marketing itself as a high-end top level domain with the cachet of .com without all the problems of getting a decent name.

Tags: .CO, Wired First IDN ccTLDs AvailablePosted May 6th, 2010From ICANN News Alert For the first time in the history of the Internet, non-Latin characters are being used for top-level domains. The first IDN country-code top-level domains were inserted in the DNS root zone earlier today. The associated countries and their respective IDN ccTLDs are: Egypt: مصر (Egypt) Saudi Arabia: السعودية (AlSaudiah) United Arab Emirates: امارات (Emarat) These are the first IDN ccTLDs to appear online as a result of the IDN ccTLD Fast Track Process which was approved by the ICANN Board at its annual meeting in Seoul, South Korea on 30 October 2009. The first requests were received starting 16 November 2009. The process enables countries and territories to submit requests to ICANN for IDN ccTLDs, representing their respective country or territory names in scripts other than Latin. So far, ICANN has received a total of 21 requests for IDN ccTLD(s) representing 11 languages. A total of 13 requests have successfully passed through the “String Evaluation” (the second stage of the process) and are hence ready for the requesting country or territory to initiate the request for TLD Delegation (the final stage of the application process). As of today, the first three of these have been delegated into the DNS root zone, which means they are available for use.
