    Generic top-level domainsIDNDNSSEC

    Overview

    The .claims string is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) introduced through ICANN's New gTLD Program. The name is intended for use by parties and organizations involved in legal claims, insurance coverage, property claims and related matters, and to facilitate search, expression and identity around claim-related topics.

    History

    • Applicant / registry operator: Donuts (Black Corner, LLC). Donuts Inc. acted as the parent applicant.
    • Reveal Day (application announced): 13 June 2012.
    • Registry Agreement signed with ICANN: 20 March 2014.
    • Delegated to the DNS Root Zone: 7 May 2014.
    • Donuts described a shared-resources operating model and noted substantial capital backing (application text referenced more than US$100 million raised) and an experienced management team to operate new TLDs securely.

    Usage and Audience

    The .claims TLD is positioned for a broad set of users connected to claims and entitlements, including:

    • Attorneys and law firms
    • Courts and legal service providers
    • Insurance companies and claims adjusters
    • Real estate service providers and parties asserting property rights
    • Local governments and public entities involved in declarations of control or entitlement
    • Individuals and organizations discussing disputes, facts, or matters of public debate related to claims

    Registration Rules

    • Open and inclusive registration approach: Donuts stated it will encourage broad access rather than constraining eligibility for second-level registrations.
    • No exclusive ownership: The application affirmed that no entity or group has exclusive rights to register second-level names in .claims.
    • Protections against abuse: Donuts committed to an array of protections to minimize abuse, including measures to address trademark concerns and other rights-holder protections.
    • Policy stance: The operator opposed eligibility-based restrictions as unnecessarily restrictive and preferred operational and policy protections to limit misuse while allowing legitimate registrants to participate.

    SEO and Brand Impact

    • Positioning: Donuts described .claims as a TLD that "better facilitates search, self-expression, information sharing and the provision of legitimate goods and services," aiming to create clear namespace value for claim-related content.
    • Competition and choice: The TLD was presented as increasing consumer choice and competition in the domain name space.
    • Trust and safety: Donuts committed to operating .claims "safely and securely," with the goal of achieving fewer incidents of fraud and abuse than incumbent TLDs through dedicated protections and operational practices.
