To the Applicant’s knowledge, there are no operational or rendering problems concerning the applied-for gTLD string.
Based on a decade of experience launching and operating new TLDs, Afilias, the back-end provider of registry services for the applied-for TLD, is confident the launch and operation of the applied-for TLD presents no known challenges. The rationale for this opinion includes:
- The string is not complex and is represented in standard ASCII characters and follows relevant technical, operational and policy standards;
- The string length is within lengths currently supported in the root and by ubiquitous Internet programs such as web browsers and mail applications;
- There are no new standards required for the introduction of the applied-for TLD;
- No onerous requirements are being made on registrars, registrants or Internet users, and;
- The existing secure, stable and reliable Afilias SRS, DNS, WHOIS and supporting systems and staff are amply provisioned and prepared to meet the needs of the applied-for TLD.
