| Mission / Purpose (#18a) |
18.a. Mission⁄Purpose of the Proposed gTLD
Charleston Road Registry is an American company, wholly owned by Google, which was established to provide registry services to the Internet public. Google is an American multinational public corporation and global technology leader focused on improving the ways its hundreds of millions of users connect with information. Since its formation, Google has been developing technology that can improve upon existing ways of doing business on the Internet. Google provides a variety of services and tools for Internet users and advertisers of all sizes, from simple search features and local ads to enterprise-scale business applications and global advertising solutions. These tools make it easier for people to make use of the world’s information and enable entrepreneurs and publishers around the world to grow their businesses.
In line with Google’s general mission, Charleston Road Registry’s mission is to help make information universally accessible and useful by extending the utility of the DNS while enhancing the performance, security, and stability of the Internet for users worldwide. Charleston Road Registry aspires to create unique web spaces where users can learn about products, services, and information in a targeted manner and in ways never before seen on the Internet. Its business objective is to manage Google’s gTLD portfolio and Google’s registry operator business. As discussed further in the responses to questions 23 and 31, Charleston Road Registry intends to outsource all critical registry functions to Google Registry Services.
The purpose of proposed gTLD is to provide a forum for individuals who are certified public accountants (CPA) and practices comprised of accountants to offer content related to their profession. CPA is a statutory title in the United States and denotes individuals who are certified to practice accounting by the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy. The mission of the proposed gTLD is to provide a dedicated domain space in which CPAs can enact unique second-level domains. Charleston Road Registry believes the proposed gTLD will have significant value to the more than 1.5 million CPAs in the United States [Source: http:⁄⁄www.numberof.net⁄number-of-accountants-in-the-us⁄]. This mission will enhance customer choice by providing new availability in the second-level domain space, creating new layers of organization on the Internet, and signaling the kind of content available in the domain.
The proposed gTLD will also provide Charleston Road Registry with the means to meet its business objectives. |
