INTRODUCTION

This question has been interpreted broadly and the response prepared while taking into consideration social costs and other negative consequences facing Internet users who will access content through the .movie TLD; these are considered eliminated or minimised by the manner in which the .movie TLD will be operated.

METHOD OF RESOLVING MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS

Multiple applications will be resolved by auction during a single sunrise period and landrush (launch implementation plans are described in detail in response to Question 29) and on a first-come, first-serve basis during general availability.

COST BENEFITS TO REGISTRANTS

No discounts or advantageous pricing will be offered for registrations in this TLD.

CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS TO REGISTRANTS

No long term contracts will be offered to registrants in this TLD. Contractual commitments regarding price escalation are also not applicable to this TLD.

OTHER OPERATING RULES WHICH ELIMINATE OR MINIMISE SOCIAL COSTS

No constraints will be placed on parked sites. The imposition of an eligibility restriction (possession of a Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) number or equivalent) is assumed to be sufficient to provide a barrier to non-authentic registrants and thus minimise the risk of parked sites or other uses which may contravene the TLD’s overall mission and purpose.

By imposing an eligibility restriction designed to restrict registrations to movie industry members, the .movie TLD supports its planned mission⁄purpose and thus supports the movie industry. It is anticipated that vulnerabilities to the registrant and Internet users who access content through the .movie TLD can be eliminated. This will be safeguarded through policies and procedures which ensure that registrations are made using eligibility criteria. Further, abusive registrations and use of registrations will be prevented through having in place and enforcing a robust anti-abuse policy; this policy is described in detail in the response to Question 28.
