Usage and Audience

• The gTLD is structured as a brand namespace to support State Farm's corporate and marketing needs rather than general public registrations.

Registration Rules

• According to State Farm's application, .statefarm is expected to operate as a "single registrant TLD" (as contemplated by ICANN):
  • All domain name registrations in the TLD are registered to, and maintained by, the registry operator for its own exclusive use.
  • The registry operator does not sell, distribute, or transfer control or use of any registrations in the TLD to third parties that are not Affiliates of the registry operator.
• As a result, parties that are not State Farm or approved Affiliates are not entitled to register domains in .statefarm.

SEO and Brand Impact

• State Farm indicated intent to use the gTLD to promote its business interests and protect its brand and brand reputation.
• The registry's policy approach is designed to mitigate brand risk and reduce potential social costs by maintaining tight control over registrations.
