    • .digital

    Generic top-level domainsIDNDNSSEC

    Overview

    .digital is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) created through ICANN's New gTLD Program. The string is positioned for "digital" and technology-related use and was intended to provide greater expression on the Internet as an open gTLD.

    History

    • Applicant and Registry Operator: Donuts (Dash Park, LLC).
    • Application announced: Reveal Day references show the applied-for string in June 2012.
    • Registry Agreement: Donuts received a Registry Agreement signed by ICANN on 6 March 2014.
    • Delegation: .digital was delegated to the DNS Root Zone on 7 May 2014, completing the successful application process.

    Application details

    • The application for .digital used a boilerplate approach similar to many Donuts applications, defining the TLD as a means of providing greater expression on the Internet.
    • The intent stated in the application was for .digital to be an open TLD without pre-registration policies.
    • The registry planned to adhere to all ICANN-required registration policies and to define remediation and takedown procedures to meet those requirements.
    • The application explicitly stated that pre-registration verification would not be used, viewing such verification as potentially denying domain access to legitimate registrants.
    • Abuse control was to be handled through "extensive user and rights protections."

    Usage and Audience

    • Intended audience: broad registrants seeking digital or technology-related domain names.
    • Categorization: listed under Technology new gTLDs, reflecting a focus on digital and tech use cases.

    Registration rules

    • Open registration approach: the operator intended .digital to be an open TLD without pre-registration verification.
    • Compliance: the registry committed to adhere to ICANN registration policies.
    • Abuse and rights protection: plans included defined remediation and takedown policies and other user/rights protections to control abuse.
