| Remark: Chinese consumers don’t need the purpose of Dot Chinese Online explaind to them. The relevance of the TLD is clear and intuitive. When Chinese consumers serach Baidu or Google for an online product or service (such as “hotels” or “shoes”) they use the search term + the Chinese word for “online” — the same characters as Dot Chinese Online. The Chinese word 在线 is the precise and singular translation for the English word “online” — there is zero ambiguity about the purpose of websites and services in a Dot Chinese Online domain. Quoted from the application: The applicant intends to position the .ONLINE TLD as a broadly distributed, broadly applicable alternative to .COM, .NET and .BIZ and other widely used TLDs. | |||
