Overview

- Implemented / generally available date: 27 May 2015.
- Registry/manager: Donuts (June Maple, LLC).
- Status: Active (generic gTLD).
- Applicants recorded for the string included DERApartments, LLC and Donuts. Donuts applied for a large portfolio of gTLDs (reported as 307 TLD applications) and submitted a Public Interest Commitment (PIC) as part of its application.
Usage and Audience
- Described by the registry applicant as an open gTLD intended to provide greater expression on the Internet.
- Positioned for broad registration access rather than restrictive, community-only allocation (per the registry's application boilerplate).
