    Generic top-level domainsIDNDNSSEC

    Overview

    .shopping is a delegated generic top-level domain (gTLD) created through ICANN's New gTLD Program. Donuts (Sea Tigers, LLC) succeeded in the ICANN application process and currently manages the .shopping TLD.

    History

    • Delegated as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program.
    • Applicants included:
      • Donuts (Sea Tigers, LLC) — submitted a Public Interest Commitment (PIC).
      • Uniregistry, Corp.
    • Donuts' application succeeded and the company manages the TLD.

    Notable Cases or Examples

    • String-confusion objection between .shopping and .shop:
      • Commercial Connect (the .shop applicant) filed an objection claiming .shopping is confusingly similar to .shop.
      • An ICDR panelist, Robert Nau, ruled in favor of Commercial Connect; that ruling could place Donuts' application into a contention set with applicants for .shop.
      • No objection was filed against Uniregistry's application for .shopping.
    • Related precedent: the same panelist (Robert Nau) also ruled that Amazon's application for .通販 (meaning "online shopping" in Chinese) was confusingly similar to .shop. Community members noted that the choice of panelist can materially affect objection outcomes.
