Content
IATA has allocated to all airports three-letters-codes. SITA has pre-registered in former times all these three-letter-codes as aero-domains, unless the airport s themselves have not registered these aero-domains. SITA has recently released unclaimed 3 letter aero-domains for registration. The se are now available to any member of the aviation community. 3 letter codes tha t have already been registered or which cannot be registered due to contractual obligations between SITA and ICANN will not be released as part of this process. Firmen aus der Luftfahrt können jetzt auch aero-domains mit drei Buchstaben regi strieren.
What would the average website owner say, if someone could offer to him a com-do main with two letters? He would be delighted. A domain with two letters is a rea lly memorable name.It is a pity, but nobody cannot offer this. The actual regula tions of com-domains and the policies of almost all registries exclude domain na mes with two letters. The aero-domain is the great exception:SITA has convinced ICANN to permit aero-domains consisting of two letters at certain conditions.Air lines or aircraft operator can register a specific aero-domain, which will be st ill more important in the future, when SITA is developping technical features as e.g. RFID.They can register the 2-Letter-IATA-Code as aero-domain. More information at www.domainregistry.de/aero-domain.html DotMobi will introduce mobi-domains with one or two letters. These short names a re highly sought after by companies who to extend their brand with a brief, memo rable web address. In a recent auction of numeric domains, names such as 88.com went for as much as $325,000. Numeric domains in particular are sought after bec ause there is no translation needed among countries, making them extremely usefu l for global brand recognition." More information at [email protected] or www.domainregistry.de/mobi-domai ns.html. Dotcoop will introduce coop-domains with one and two letters. Interested coopera tives must send a letter of application, called"Expression of Interest" (EOI). The registry explains: "All submissions should be in English although supportin g information may be provided in other languages. All awards will be final and t he names will be made available to those registrants for registration at that ti me. If the name is not registered with 7 days of being awarded, then any other E OI for that domain will be reconsidered and a new recipient selected and notifie d. dotCoop reserves the right to impose an application fee not in excess of USD$ 500 if the number of EOI s is unexpectedly large". And the registry continues: "The evaluation of the Expressions of Interest will consider, at a minimum: - w hether the domain would be actively used; an activation schedule should be inclu ded with the EOI; - previous use or identification with the name being requested including registered trademarks in use by the cooperative (although previous us e is not required); - whether the eligible organization has particular standing within its regional, national or international cooperative organizations or sect ors; - whether the proposed use will be specific to the registrant or in general support of a geographic or sectoral group of cooperatives with wider use and/ac cess being encouraged without financial restrictions. However, such open access
is not required." Please send your letter of applications to [email protected], NeuStar s idea is to offer a request for proposals with good plans to develop we bsites with one and two character domains. NeuStar would then have rights to auc tion the domains, presumably if more than one proposals was received. But it is also not excluded that these biz-domains with one or three characters are distri buted by first-come-first-registered approach. The biz-domains with one and two characters will be more expensive than normal biz-domains. More information at http://www.domainregistry.de/biz-domains.html Hans-Peter Oswald www.domainregistry.de
