- Applicant: Smart Communications, Inc.
- Intended use: closed Brand TLD (exclusive/restricted use by the brand), reinforced by a Public Interest Commitment (PIC).

- Application status in source material: Proposed (brand gTLD).
- Priority identifier from application data: 1839 (associated with Smart Communications, Inc.).
- The application failed the Initial Evaluation on the technical evaluation component; the applicant was eligible to request Extended Evaluation.
Usage and Audience
- Target audience: the brand owner (Smart Communications, Inc.) and its controlled namespaces; intended as a closed TLD for the company rather than open public registrations.
Registration Rules

- Registrations are therefore intended to be restricted to the brand owner or parties explicitly authorized by Smart Communications, rather than available for general public registration.
