The RySG formally requests an update on this important issue, so that existing gTLD registries who would like to vertically integrate and distribute their own domains can rely on a predictable and transparent process and timeline that ensures they are not disadvantaged in the new TLD marketplace.

 

In the new domain name marketplace, with potentially hundreds or thousands of new TLDs, the ability for existing registries to self-distribute may mean the difference between survival and failure of their TLD, because accredited registrars are not required to offer all TLDs, they will continue to pick and choose which it suits them to offer — and some may even elect to stop offering existing TLDs in favour of new TLDs. If and when that occurs, exiting TLD registries must have the ability to reach the registrant market directly. It

Eine neue Top Level Domain?

TLD fun ;)

might seem to some that this issue is not urgent because new TLDs won’t be added to the root for another year, but building the necessary operational systems to sell, bill and support end-user registrants directly will require planning, budgeting and the recruitment of appropriate staff which will take time, particularly when addressing structural changes to the marketplace. All market participants, including existing registry operators and registrars, must be able to rely on a clear and predictable process to address such a major substantial change.
