| Mission / Purpose (#18a) | |
| Top Level Spectrums’ mission for .chat is to create a recognizable, viable, and profitable extension to bring together individuals and companies who are passionate about chatting online. The registrant can create a website dedicated to chatting with the company. It seems fitting, as ICANN opens up an unprecedented and innovative program to expand how we use and identify with the Internet, that use cases like .chat should be allowed as well. It is better to provide customers a dedicated chat area because it allows customers to easily find and chat with other customers or with the company directly. We are creating the opportunity for anyone to promote a dedicated chat area for customers or partners. Chat can be used to make products and services better and to help the customer better communicate with the company. By owning a domain in the chat community around a product or service it can help a company better focus helping a customer better find a way to chat with a company in the community. We believe this creates a win-win for most companies because dedicated sites for chatting with companies are currently not very common on a large scale yet. It is our goal to be a financially successful company, solvent throughout our launch and profitable within our first year of operations. We believe this is an eventual reality and that our projections and financial analysis included in this application demonstrate this. We hope to grow at a rate that allows us to continually improve our registry offerings, and increase benefits for both our customers and employees. Our commitments and projections at this time are focused on conservative estimates of our revenue in order to best prepare for a TLD market with the possibility of 100,000+ TLDs in the next decade. We don’t expect the demand for domains under our TLD to be big. Perhaps up to 10,000 registrations by the end of year 3, however we do have investors and a technical team that will stand behind the company if projections are higher than we anticipate. |

Express your interest for a domain name under the extensionCHAT
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.
Additionally, let us review your business/situation and supply you with a customized solution fitting your individual needs.
