    • .education

    Generic top-level domainsIDNDNSSEC

    Overview

    • .education is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) applied for under ICANN's New gTLD Program.
    • The string was proposed to provide greater expression on the Internet and was described in its application as an open TLD without pre-registration verification.

    History

    • The application for .education was submitted as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program and succeeded.
    • A Registry Agreement for .education was signed on 07 November 2013.
    • .education was delegated to the DNS Root Zone on 29 December 2013, completing delegation of the string.
    • Registry/operator attribution in the provided source includes both an infobox entry naming Demand Media and text stating the registry/manager as Donuts (Brice Way, LLC).

    Usage and Audience

    • The application described the TLD as intended to enable greater expression on the Internet and positioned it as an open gTLD suitable for education-related use.
    • The application indicated the TLD would be an open namespace (no pre-registration eligibility checks) rather than a restricted or verified community string.

    Registration Rules

    • The application and supporting materials state the TLD was planned as an open TLD without pre-registration verification.
    • Donuts' application language (as provided) indicated an intent to adhere to all ICANN-required registration policies.
    • The applicant described plans for remediation and takedown policies and for controlling abuse through "extensive user and rights protections."

    Notable Cases or Examples

    • The European Commission issued a communiqué identifying .education among 58 new gTLD applications that it flagged as potentially raising compatibility issues with existing EU legislation or policy positions; the Commission noted this action outside of ICANN's defined remediation processes.
