20(d) Explain the relationship between the applied-for gTLD string and the community identified in 20(a)

Prototypical answer:

There is a clear relationship between the applied-for .WEBS gTLD string and the community identified in the answer to question 20(a) above.

The .WEBS gTLD is identical to the established name of the community. Hence there is a clear relationship to the established name of the community.

The .WEBS gTLD will also allow members of the Webs community to show their relationship to the community more clearly. Whereas community members previously made profiles under the myWebs identifier to show their relationship to the community, it will become possible for Webs community members to also show their relationship to the community through the use of the .WEBS gTLD.

ʺWEBS,ʺ in the context of Applicantʹs and the Community’s usage, is not a dictionary word. Therefore, Applicant is of the opinion that ʺWEBS,ʺ as Applicant uses it, has no relevant connotations beyond the community, as opposed to the generic term ʺWEB,ʺ which refers to the World Wide Web. In the context of the Internet, people refer to ʺthe Web,ʺ but not to the plural term ʺWebs.ʺ
