.dvr

Overview

• .dvr is a proposed brand generic top-level domain (gTLD) applied for through ICANN's New gTLD Program.
• The application lists the string as a brand-type gTLD intended to be exclusively controlled by the applicant.

History

• Applicant: Hughes Satellite Systems Corporation (a wholly owned subsidiary of EchoStar Corporation).
• Registry: Afilias is listed in the application metadata.
• Status: Proposed (applied-for in the New gTLD Program).
• The application was part of the reveal process for new gTLD strings (Reveal Day referenced 13 June 2012).
• The application received a GAC Early Warning issued by the representative of Australia and GAC Chair Heather Dryden.

Usage and Audience

• The applicant describes Hughes Satellite Systems Corporation as a global provider of satellite broadband and related managed network services, serving enterprises, governments and consumer markets.
• Hughes and its affiliates' offerings mentioned in the application include HughesNet, Sling technology, and other satellite services and managed solutions.
• The .dvr gTLD was proposed as a restricted, exclusively-controlled namespace intended for use by the applicant and its controlled entities.

Registration Rules

• The applicant sought .dvr as a restricted, exclusively-controlled gTLD (exclusive access by the applicant).
• No public registration eligibility, character rules, or registration period details are provided in the available material.

SEO and Brand Impact

• The GAC Early Warning highlighted a concern that granting exclusive access to a common generic string that "relates to a broad market sector" could have unintended consequences and a negative impact on competition.
• The Early Warning reflects governmental concern about competition and market effects rather than technical or DNS-specific SEO considerations.
