.NEWS Top Level Domain


18(a).1 Mission of the .NEWS TLD

The mission of the .NEWS TLD is to be the designated namespace for all individuals, groups, businesses, organizations, media outlets, and other related entities that engage in activities related to the reporting, aggregation, or distribution of news commercially or non-commercially.


18(a).2 Value Proposition of the .NEWS TLD

The .NEWS TLD is the online standard for news and news related products and services.


18(a).3 The Purpose of .NEWS

The .NEWS TLD will be an Internet space that facilitates the reporting, aggregation, and distribution of news and news related products and services by means of, but not limited to, websites, social networks, email, and other technologies. MLG will be adapting and broadening the scale and scope of these activities to ensure the successful launch of the .NEWS TLD.

MLG has a plan to develop, build, and sustain a unique value proposition for the .NEWS TLD, and a marketing strategy to ensure that the maximum number of people and organizations are aware of how a .NEWS domain can enhance their value proposition. A .NEWS domain will provide a competitive advantage to registrants through a multitude of scenarios. MLG’s delivery of the .NEWS value proposition will provide an additional incentive for registrants acquiring .NEWS domains to leverage their resources and capabilities and develop their unique place on the World Wide Web.

MLG believes in being nimble, flexible, and well funded, with a long term vision for the .NEWS TLD. We have the ingenuity and partnerships to market and develop .NEWS in a manner that:
(1) quickly establishes a base of .NEWS registrants that will immediately utilize their .NEWS domain name to provide Internet users with news and news related products and services;
(2) preserves the integrity and promotes the development of various country and region specific .NEWS domains through accredited organizations;
(3) establishes customers who will immediately derive value from a .NEWS TLD;
(4) protects registered trademark holders without undue cost to them;
(5) builds and protects the value proposition of the .NEWS TLD;
(6) ensures the continued development of the .NEWS TLD through competition and innovation; and
(7) leverages assets, resources, and competencies to effectively and efficiently establish a registration base from target registrant markets and all other members of the global community and public who can benefit from an ever expanding .NEWS TLD.

MLG affirms that the Internet is a transformative technology that continues to empower people around the globe, spur innovation, facilitate trade and commerce, and enable the free and unfettered flow of information. MLG envisions .NEWS domains to be registered and used by anyone who is interested in communicating about and providing news and news related products and services. .NEWS domain registrations will not be restricted and everyone will have an opportunity to register a .NEWS domain name.

The introduction of a .NEWS TLD offers numerous benefits and opportunities to anyone that engages in activities related to the reporting, aggregation, or distribution of news and to the online community in general. MLG will work closely with CentralNic and Internet registrars to implement a focused marketing strategy with an emphasis on ensuring that the traditional news community adopts and builds on the .NEWS foundation. MLG is committed to fostering competition, consumer trust, and consumer choice within the .NEWS TLD Internet space and the broader global marketplace. MLG and its partners understand the intrinsic value, rarity, and non-imitability of the .NEWS TLD and have the expertise, strategy, and capacity to ensure the successful establishment and growth of the .NEWS TLD. Through our goals, policies, and operating rules, MLG is committed to managing the .NEWS TLD in a manner that maximizes benefits and mitigates costs for all stakeholders.

eBrand Services has designed a series of defensive approaches to ensure that rightholders can object applications of new gTLD that affect their interests asserting prior rights over certain string or Trademark. Contact us to know more:

Express your interest for a domain name under the extensionNEWS

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.
