    Generic top-level domainsIDNDNSSEC

    Overview

    .ski is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) delegated to the DNS Root Zone as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program on 30 May 2015. The string is intended for the skiing and snowsports community and related businesses and organizations. The registry operator is Afilias; the domain has a public-facing site at domains.ski and a Twitter handle @dot_ski.

    History

    • Delegated to the DNS Root Zone on 30 May 2015 under ICANN's New gTLD Program.
    • Originally managed by Starting Dot during the application and launch phase.
    • Afilias acquired Starting Dot and its rights to several gTLDs, including .ski, in August 2016 and became the registry operator.

    Usage and Audience

    • Targeted at the global skiing and snowsports community.
    • Relevant users and stakeholders include ski resorts, snowsports organizations, national federations, event organizers, athletes, and businesses serving winter sports.
    • The TLD gained visible support from major industry bodies and organizations.

    Registration Rules

    • Status: General Availability (open registrations).
    • During the application phase, a community priority application was submitted by STARTING DOT, which required demonstrating singular community support for the string.

    Notable Cases or Examples

    • STARTING DOT submitted a community application backed by a range of ski organizations and stakeholders.
    • Prominent supporters listed during the application process included:
      • International Ski Federation (FIS)
      • US Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA)
      • Alpine Canada and the Canadian Snowsports Association
      • France Montagnes and Fédération Française de Ski (FFS)
      • International Olympic Committee (IOC)
      • Domaines Skiables De France and French regional supporters
      • Olympic downhill gold medalist Antoine Dénériaz
    • Donuts (Wild Lake, LLC) also applied for .ski; the Fédération Internationale de Ski filed community objections against that application during the ICANN review process.
