    • .jot

    Generic top-level domainsIDNDNSSEC

    Overview

    .jot is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) delegated to the DNS Root Zone under ICANN's New gTLD Program. The string is managed by Amazon and categorized under lifestyle new gTLDs. Amazon positions .jot as a platform for stable and secure online communication and interaction.

    History

    • Delegated to the Root Zone on 5 December 2015 under ICANN's New gTLD Program.
    • The string was applied for and managed by Amazon; registry services are noted as provided by Neustar.
    • The application and registry design emphasize control by Amazon and alignment with industry registry practices.

    Usage and Audience

    • Intended audience: services and systems where Amazon requires a dedicated, controlled namespace for online communication and interaction.
    • Amazon's stated goals for .jot include providing a stable, secure foundation for communication, enabling innovation, and protecting intellectual property.

    Registration Rules

    • Management model:

      • Amazon's Intellectual Property group is responsible for a Domain Management Policy covering eligibility, allocation rules, license terms, and dispute resolution.
      • All .jot domains remain the property of Amazon; Amazon may revoke a license to use a .jot domain if the Domain Management Policy is violated.
      • Domains are provisioned to align with Amazon's business goals; public mass outreach was not anticipated in the application.

    • Registration process (as described in the application):

      1. Eligibility Confirmation
      2. Naming Convention Check
      3. Acceptable Use Review
      4. Registration

    • Name syntax and length restrictions:

      • Minimum length: 3 characters
      • Maximum length: 63 characters
      • Allowed characters: letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), and hyphens
      • Names must start and end with an alphanumeric character (not a hyphen)
      • Hyphens are not allowed in the third and fourth positions (to avoid tagged domains)
      • Names must not match ICANN-reserved strings, protected country names, or protected geographical terms

    • Additional rules and notes:

      • Internationalized domain names (IDNs) may be supported at the second level.
      • The registry will respect third-party intellectual property rights and maintain accurate registration records.
      • .jot domains may not be delegated or assigned to third-party organizations, institutions, or individuals.
      • Privacy protections: Amazon indicated it will implement appropriate privacy policies in line with local jurisdictional requirements and participates in the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor program (as noted in the application).

    SEO and Brand Impact

    • Brand and control:

      • Amazon intends to use .jot to gain additional control over technical architecture and to provide a platform for innovation and intellectual property protection.
      • Because all domains remain under Amazon's ownership and are provisioned according to its business goals, .jot functions primarily as a controlled brand namespace rather than a broadly open public namespace.

    • Trust and positioning:

      • The registry's emphasis on secure, stable communication and enforcement of a Domain Management Policy signals an intention to maintain a controlled, brand-aligned namespace.
      • No specific claims about search engine treatment were provided in the source material.
