1. Specialty, service levels and reputation

In terms of specialty and service levels, the goal of .frogans gTLD is to ensure the security, stability and reliability of the Frogans layer for the benefit of all Internet users.

The domain names in the .frogans gTLD registry will be used for addressing the computers that are dedicated to the functioning of the Frogans layer on the Internet.

This use of the .frogans gTLD is inspired by the use of the .net gTLD, as specified by Jon Postel in RFC 1591 (March 1994).

In terms of reputation, the OP3FT (the Applicant) will be the sole and unique holder of domain names in the .frogans gTLD registry; no domain names in the .frogans gTLD registry will be commercialized to any third party. The OP3FT will be at the same time the registry operator for the .frogans gTLD and the sole and unique registrant.


2. Competition, differentiation and innovation

The .frogans gTLD will have no impact on the domain name market given the fact that no domain names in the .frogans gTLD registry will be commercialized to any third party. The OP3FT will be the sole and unique registrant. Therefore, the .frogans gTLD will have no effect on the current space in terms of competition.

In terms of differentiation and innovation, the .frogans gTLD will add value to the current space, in that it will be used to ensure the security, stability and reliability of a new application layer on the Internet (the Frogans layer), for the benefit of all Internet users, without adding any modifications to the functioning of the DNS (unlike the .tel gTLD).


3. User experience

The goal of the .frogans gTLD is to ensure the security, stability and reliability of the Frogans layer for the benefit of all Internet users. Thus, the .frogans gTLD will significantly improve the user experience when users access the computers dedicated to the functioning of the Frogans layer on the Internet.


4. Registration policies

The intended registration policies for the .frogans gTLD in support of the goals presented above will include and be compliant with all applicable policies required by ICANN.

These registration policies will implement the following characteristics for the .frogans gTLD:

- The OP3FT will be the sole and unique holder of domain names in the .frogans gTLD registry;

- The OP3FT will not commercialize any domain names in the .frogans gTLD registry to third parties;

- The maximum number of domain names in the .frogans gTLD registry will be 1,000.


5. Privacy and confidential information

The .frogans gTLD will not impose any measures for protecting the privacy or confidential information of registrants or users in that the OP3FT, the .frogans gTLD registry operator, will be the sole and unique registrant of domain names in the .frogans gTLD registry.

All Whois records related to the domain names registered in the .frogans gTLD registry will contain the full contact information of the OP3FT as being the registrant of these domain names.


6. Outreach and communications

As a non-profit organization acting in the public interest, and in respect to the principles of openness and transparency, the OP3FT will communicate on the innovative use and benefits of the .frogans gTLD, and its associated costs, for ensuring the security, stability and reliability of the Frogans layer for the benefit of all Internet users.

However, as the OP3FT will be the sole and unique holder of domain names in the .frogans gTLD registry and will not commercialize any domain names in the .frogans gTLD registry to third parties, outreach and communications are not expected to help achieve the projected benefits of the .frogans gTLD and its goal.
