Domain Name News: “.DE Registry to add Redemption Grace Period (DENIC)”

---

.DE Registry to add Redemption Grace Period (DENIC) Posted: 26 Nov 2013 11:49 AM PST As of December 3rd, 2013, DENIC, the operator of the .DE ccTLD will also introduce a Redemption Grace Period (RGP) that allows the original domain owner to recover their expired domain for up to 30 days after the expiry, the same as for gTLDs. See the full press release after the jump. Redemption Grace Period for .DE name space kicking off in early December New cooling off phase to prevent unintentional domain loss Effective 3 December 2013, the managing organization and central registry operator of the .DE top level domain, DENIC, will launch a dedicated cooling-off service (called Redemption Grace Period – RGP) which shall apply for all second-level domain names in the .DE name space. This procedure shall protect registrants against an unintentional loss of their domain(s), as a result of accidental deletion. Under the RGP scheme, .DE domain names shall no longer be irretrievably lost, following deletion, but instead initially enter a subsequent 30-day cooling-off phase, during which they may solely be re- registered on behalf of their former registrant(s). RGP cooling-off provisions shall allow former registrants to redeem registration of the subject domain names, by having recourse to the related Restore service, through a registrar. Only if no redemption is requested, during the 30-day RGP phase, the relevant domain names shall become available for registration by any interested party again. At the time being, similar regulations are applied by other top level domain registries already. Registrars redeeming a deleted .DE domain name for the original registrant will have to pay a Restore fee and may pass on the related costings. Deleted .DE domain names placed in cooling off, from RGP implementation, will be earmarked by a redemption period status in the DENIC lookup services (whois) accessible at www.denic.de. As a consequence of the above measures, the current DENIC .DE domain guidelines shall be superseded by new, amended ones from the date of RGP launch, i.e. 3 December 2013, which shall then be permanently published at http://www.denic.de/en/domains/general-information/domain- guidelines.html.

Buenos Aires Airport closure leaves many ICANN 48 attendees stranded Posted: 15 Nov 2013 07:27 AM PST As the 48th ICANN meeting is set to start in Buenos Aires, many of the attendees were stranded today in Montevideo, Uruguay  and other South American airports due to an airport closure in Buenos Aires. An Austral Embraer ERJ-190 on behalf of Air Austral/Aerolineas Argentina coming from Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), overrun the runway and only came to a halt after the nose of the machine had hit the localizer antenna about 220 meters/730 feet past the runway end at 5:45 local time this morning (UTC-3). None of the 96 passengers was injured and they were all taken to the terminal. According to reporting of the airport there was a cold front passing through the area at the time. The airline reports that the incident occurred due to a sudden change in wind direction and speed. Flights into the aiport resumed again after about three hours, but some attendees will now only arrive tomorrow. DNN was not able to confirm if any ICANN 48 attendees were on the flight itself.   [via AVHerald and the ICANN Social Group on Facebook, picture posted on twitter by @JuanMCornejo]   Related posts: ICANN Mexico Meeting Goes Mobile with ICANN.mobi ICANN Meeting #37 Will Take Place In Kenya ICANN meeting in LA begins, 1/4 to 1/3 of the meetings closed to the public ICANN Meeting in June Moved from Jordan ICANN debuts monthly magazine

**********************************

Welcome to the DomainNameWire.com newsletter.

Yesterday was the first time that I said to myself that new top level
domain names are actually a reality.

It's probably because I was able to type in nic.tattoo
and view an actual website about .tattoo domain names.

http://domainnamewire.net/click.html?x=a62b&lc=BfkJi&mc=B1&s=V0alB&y=t&

Sure, Google's Chrome browser didn't know exactly what to
do when I typed in that domain, or any of the other new TLDs:

http://domainnamewire.net/click.html?x=a62b&lc=BfkJX&mc=B1&s=V0alB&y=C&

But the act of typing in a new TLD and having it resolve
means that that ink.tattoo, art.gallery, and domain.guru
are just around the corner.

That assumes, of course, that those second level domains
aren't on the name collision block lists.

There's no doubt that these initial new TLDs will be hampered.

They will be hampered by block lists. Uncertainty over IGO
acronyms (which will hopefully be resolved soon). Browser
and software hiccups.

It's also worth noting that many of the "best" domains, as
measured by the number of applicants for the domain, will
come out last.

Rolling out first will be a handful of IDNs along with
TLDs that had only one applicant. Some will be domains that had
a few applicants that settled their contention set early.
And .city domains will be in the mix, too.

But the big strings are still subject to objection
proceedings and domain auctions. For the most complex cases,
we might not have resolution to the contention sets until 2015.

That's why the first domains include .clothing and .ventures,
and not heavyweights like .app and .music.

Still, exciting times are ahead. Even if you think new TLDs
will be a big .flop.

Web.com signs 2013 RAA, launches expression of interest site [Press Release] Posted: 01 Nov 2013 08:27 AM PDT Another group of registrars will be switching to the 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) with ICANN, allowing them to participate in selling new gTLDs. Web.com owns the original Domain registrar, Network Solutions and Register.com. The company also launched an expression of interest site for new gTLDs, promising a “Best price guarantee” and 10% discount for a “buyer’s club”. It appears that there’s no cost to participating in this club. "We are staying ahead of the curve with our customers at the top of our minds," said David Brown, Chairman and CEO of Web.com. "As owner of two of the largest retail registrars in the world, we are committed to enabling our customers to be among the first to acquire new gTLDs." See the full press release after the jump. Web.com Takes Small Business Website Names to the Next Level Signing ICANN's 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement Owner of several global domain registrars is now ready to support new top-level domain names   JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – November 1, 2013 – Web.com Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: WWWW), provider of Internet services and online marketing solutions for small businesses, has authorized its registrars to sign ICANN's 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) in preparation for distributing hundreds of new website address extensions, called generic top-level domains (gTLDs), as they become available starting late 2013.   "We are staying ahead of the curve with our customers at the top of our minds," said David Brown, Chairman and CEO of Web.com. "As owner of two of the largest retail registrars in the world, we are committed to enabling our customers to be among the first to acquire new gTLDs."   With the added option of taking advantage of gTLDs, a small business can further extend its brand into its website address. For instance, a pizza parlor could register for a ".pizza" gTLD or that same small business could showcase its menu by registering a ".menu" gTLD.   "ICANN is pleased that the Web.com registrar family has formally signed the 2013 RAA," said Akram Atallah, President, ICANN Generic Domains Division. “By adopting the agreement, Web.com is demonstrating its commitment to providing strong benefits to all of its registrants, especially its small business customers."   Customers may visit newtlds.web.com to indicate interest in the new gTLDs before they go on sale.   About Web.com Web.com Group, Inc.
