.llp

Overview

• .llp is a proposed generic top-level domain (gTLD) submitted under ICANN's New gTLD Program.
• It is intended for use by limited liability partnerships (LLPs) and related legal entities.
• The TLD is categorized under Commerce and is marked as a string contention (contested) application.

History

• .llp was applied for during ICANN's New gTLD Program and is listed with status: Proposed.
• Applicants included:
  • Dot Registry LLC (community applicant)
  • myLLP GmbH
  • Google (Charleston Road Registry Inc.)
• A former applicant, PLL Registry, LLC, withdrew its application.
• Dot Registry selected Neustar to provide back-end registry services.
• In June 2014 a Community Priority Evaluation (CPE) panel awarded Dot Registry 5 out of 16 points, below the 14 points needed to qualify as a community applicant.

Usage and Audience

• Target audience: limited liability partnerships and legal entities structured as LLPs.
• Dot Registry's proposal included restricting registrations to legally registered entities in the United States to address concerns raised by U.S. state authorities.

Registration Rules

• The application set for .llp is contested (string contention exists).
• At least one applicant (Dot Registry) proposed enforcing eligibility by limiting registrations to legally registered U.S. entities.

Notable Cases or Examples

• The CPE outcome in June 2014 is a notable event: Dot Registry did not prevail as a community applicant and therefore would need to resolve contention by private means or an ICANN auction.
• Major applicants (Dot Registry, myLLP GmbH, Google) and the withdrawal of PLL Registry, LLC are key points in the .llp contention set.
