    Overview

    • .aig is a brand generic top-level domain (gTLD) created as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program.
    • It represents American International Group, Inc. (AIG), a large international insurance and financial organization described in the application as having roughly 63,000 employees and operations in more than 130 countries.
    • The namespace is intended to serve as a trusted, hierarchical, and intuitive domain space for AIG, its subsidiaries, affiliates, customers and interested parties.

    History

    • Application for the string was revealed during ICANN's application reveal (Reveal Day) on 13 June 2012.
    • The .aig string was delegated to the DNS Root Zone on 02 May 2015.
    • Registry service provider listed: Neustar.
    • The brand owner and manager of the TLD is American International Group, Inc., which submitted the application and detailed its intended use in the ICANN application.

    Usage and Audience

    • Primary intended users are AIG and its qualified subsidiaries and affiliates.
    • Purpose includes serving AIG customers and interested parties with a company-controlled namespace.
    • Use cases identified in the application: protecting AIG's online presence and identity, providing secure channels for online products and services, expanding marketing and promotion efforts, and consolidating intellectual property activities.

    Registration Rules

    • Initial registration and use intended to be limited to AIG and its qualified subsidiaries and affiliates to establish operations and sustainability.
    • The application indicates that after an initial stage (referred to as Stage 3), AIG may evaluate opportunities to expand registrations (including potential fee-based registrations to third parties) if consistent with sustainable operations.
    • The application references the intent to operate under the limits set in Specification 9 of the template Registry Agreement, with the stated goal of exemption from annual Code of Conduct compliance requirements.

      • Intended to preserve and protect AIG’s online identity.
      • Intended to provide a secure, company-controlled channel for products and services, which supports trust and brand integrity.
      • Expected to support marketing and consolidation of intellectual property activities under a unified corporate approach.
