    Generic top-level domainsIDNDNSSEC

    Overview

    .engineering is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) string intended to serve the engineering sector. The application describes the string as an open TLD to provide greater expression on the Internet for engineering-related names.

    History

    • Applicant / Registry operator: Donuts (application filed under the Romeo Canyon entity).
    • Contract signed: Donuts received a Registry Agreement with ICANN on 06 March 2014.
    • Delegation: .engineering was delegated to the DNS Root Zone on 11 April 2014, completing the registry's successful application process.
    • GAC Early Warning: During the application process the GAC issued an Early Warning (from Australia / GAC Chair Heather Dryden) noting that the string refers to a regulated market and raising concerns that the applicant had not provided adequate measures to protect consumers.

    Usage and Audience

    • Intended positioning: The application defines .engineering as an open gTLD intended to provide greater expression for engineering-related names.
    • Target audience (by implication of string and application): engineering professionals, firms, projects and communities seeking sector-specific domain names.

    Registration Rules

    • Open registration model: The applicant described .engineering as an open TLD without pre-registration eligibility restrictions or pre-registration verification.
    • Rights protection and abuse control: The application stated an intent to adhere to ICANN registration policies and to implement remediation, takedown and rights-protection mechanisms to control abuse.
    • Policy compliance: The registry indicated plans to conform to ICANN requirements and to define takedown/remediation policies as part of its operations.
