CORE++ bids for .NET registry agreement
Global consortium of DNS experts want to re-brand domain as secure, reliable, open and stable.
CORE++, a global consortium of experts in DNS management, has announced its intention to bid for management of the .NET TLD - the second largest generic Top Level Domain behind .COM.
CORE++ becomes the forth company in addition to the current registry VeriSign, who have indicated that they plan to vie for the franchise, which expires June 30. Other three are: NeuLevel, Inc., company that runs .BIZ, Afilias Limited, which manages .INFO and nonprofit firm in Frankfurt, Denic, which manages Germany’s 8 million registered .DE domain names.
ICANN closed the submission process for new bids on January 18th. A decision is expected in March 2005.
Comprising domain registrars, registry operators and telecommunications and networking technology companies from Europe, North America, Latin America, Africa and Asia, CORE++ offers a global, multi-lingual solution backed up by a great deal of experience amongst its leadership team of TLD managerial expertise.
In its submission document, CORE++ has outlined a number of key deliverables it would introduce should it be awarded the .NET registry agreement including a focus on security and increased facilitation for registrars. CORE++ will also implement significant price reductions.
With backing from a number of high-profile NICs (Network Information Center) including NICBR (Brazil), NIDA Consortium (Korea) and .ZA DNA (South Africa) CORE++ is confident that its submission will not simply convince ICANN that is a safe pair of hands, but demonstrate that the .NET domain will continue to develop as an integral part of the Internet.
