    Generic top-level domainsIDNDNSSEC

    Overview

    .events is a generic top-level domain introduced through ICANN's New gTLD Program for use by event-related websites and services. The string was applied for by Donuts (Pioneer Maple, LLC) and is intended to provide greater expressive options on the Internet as an open gTLD.

    History

    • Applied for during ICANN's New gTLD Program by Donuts (Pioneer Maple, LLC).
    • Donuts received a Registry Agreement with ICANN on December 5, 2013.
    • .events was delegated to the DNS Root Zone on 04 February 2014, completing its successful application and delegation.
    • The application materials indicate .events was proposed as an open gTLD and that the applicant used a standard (boilerplate) application format shared across many Donuts applications.

    Usage and Audience

    • Intended general use: event-related sites and services seeking a descriptive, industry-relevant domain.
    • Positioning in the application: described as a means of providing greater expression on the Internet and planned to be an open TLD without pre-registration policies.

    Registration Rules

    • Intended registration model: open TLD (no pre-registration restrictions specified in the application).
    • Pre-registration verification: the applicant stated they would not use pre-registration verification, arguing it could deny legitimate registrants access.
    • Policy commitments: the applicant indicated intent to adhere to all ICANN registration policies and to define remediation and takedown procedures; abuse control was to be handled through user and rights protections.
