    Generic top-level domainsIDNDNSSEC

    Overview

    .equipment is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) introduced through ICANN's New gTLD Program. The string is intended as an open, commerce-oriented namespace for sites related to equipment and related goods or services.

    History

    • Status: Active gTLD (delegated to the DNS Root Zone on 6 November 2013).
    • Registry operator: Donuts (Corn Station, LLC) is identified in the application text as the registry; the application was filed and Donuts was the sole applicant for the string.
    • Key milestones:
      • Initial evaluation and successful application under ICANN's New gTLD Program.
      • Registry Agreement signed by ICANN on 27 August 2013.
      • Delegation to the Root Zone completed on 6 November 2013.
      • .equipment was delegated alongside other Donuts strings such as .camera, .clothing, .lighting, and others.

    Usage and Audience

    • Target audience: businesses, retailers, manufacturers, service providers, and individuals focused on equipment, tools, and related commercial activities.
    • Category: Classified under commerce-oriented new gTLDs.

    Registration Rules

    • Intended registration model: an open gTLD without pre-registration verification; the registry indicated it would be open for general registration rather than restricted access.
    • Rights protection and abuse control: the application stated intent to adhere to all ICANN registration policies and to implement remediation and takedown procedures; the registry planned "extensive user and rights protections" to control abuse.
    • Sunrise: the registry announced a Sunrise Period running from 3 December 2013 to 31 January 2014 to allow trademark holders priority registration before general availability.

    Notable Information

    • The application materials for .equipment mirrored boilerplate language used in several Donuts applications emphasizing open registration and compliance with ICANN policies.
