| Mission / Purpose (#18a) | |
| The goal of the .BLOG domain is to encourage the free flow of ideas and expression through the use of blogs and similar Internet-based self-publishing software. The .BLOG gTLD will and provide bloggers and blog-readers a better Internet identifier than current registration choices. A blog (originally a shortened form of “web log”) is a website containing the writerʹs or group of writersʹ experiences, observations, and opinions regarding various topics and issues; blogs may include images, videos and links to other Web sites. To “blog” or to do “blogging” is the act of adding content to a blog. As of the first quarter in 2010, there were an estimated 450 million active English-language blogs. (Source: http:⁄⁄www.hattrickassociates.com⁄2010⁄02⁄how_many_blogs_2011_web_content). Blogs include but not limited to art blogs, photography blogs, news blogs, law blogs, etc. There is a blog to cater to virtually any subject, activity or trade in which people are interested. Given the large number of blogs, the .BLOG top-level domain will alleviate pressure on the over-crowded .COM namespace and allow bloggers to find good domain names at a price well below the high prices charged in the .COM secondary market. |

Express your interest for a domain name under the extensionBLOG
An Expression of Interest allows you to submit a non-binding interest in registering the specific domains most relevant to you. By doing so, we can provide you with up-to-date information about launch schedules, pricing, policies, and ensure you avoid missing registration deadlines. Prior to the release of your domain name under a new gTLD, we will let you know and we can assist you in turning your Expression of Interest into a binding registration order, or cancel your Expression of Interest. Whilst we will endeavor to secure your desired domain for you, please note that we cannot guarantee a successful registration. It is important to acknowledge that multiple registration phases will take place. For more information, please refer our FAQ’s. All Expression of Interest’s are free of charge and legally non-binding.
