| Mission / Purpose (#18a) | |
| Q18a, Char 3431 The term “rip” is generic and broadly used around the world, with a particularly strong connection in use as an idiomatic expression wishing eternal peace for someone who has died. With its Latin root of “Requiescat in Pace”, the term has been reverently used for thousands of years. Global in scope, today a group of hundreds of millions of consumers identify with this word. The mission and purpose of the .rip TLD is to establish an easily recognized and accessible namespace for this large group. The .rip TLD is proposed by United TLD Holdco Ltd. (“United TLD”), a well-funded company established by highly experienced domain industry executives for the express purpose of securing the rights to operate a portfolio of TLDs that increase choice, expression, affinity and relevance for millions of consumers, businesses and other organizations on the web. As outlined in our response to Qs. 46, 47 and 48, United TLD has a large capital base available to fund start-up costs, acquire the rights to operate multiple TLDs and operate the registries in a world-class manner. Additionally, United TLD has prefunded a Continued Operations Instrument (COI) to protect future registrants. PROTECTING CONSUMERS AND RIGHTS HOLDERS United TLD team has a wealth of experience in the domain industry and has been a dedicated contributor to ICANN’s new TLD program for many years as an active participant to internet policy development and implementation, working on topics like rights protection mechanisms and trademark clearing house. United TLD is committed to operating .rip in a manner that promotes inclusiveness, while creating a safe environment for consumers and rights holders. United TLD is implementing a broad array of protection mechanisms that we believe will make this TLD a safer place than existing TLDs, with fewer instances of abuse. These protections include eight innovative mechanisms that substantially exceed the protections specified in the TLD applicant guidebook. These mechanisms are: 1. Periodic audit of Whois data for accuracy; 2. Remediation of inaccurate Whois data, including takedown, if warranted; 3. A new Domain Protected Marks List (DPML) product for trademark protection; 4. A new Claims Plus product for trademark protection; 5. Terms of use that prohibit illegal or abusive activity; 6. Limitations on domain proxy and privacy service; 7. Published policies and procedures that define abusive activity; and 8. Proper resourcing for all of the functions above. Our protection mechanisms also include fourteen new measures that were developed specifically by ICANN for the new TLD process. These are: 1. Controls to ensure proper access to domain management functions; 2. 24⁄7⁄365 abuse point of contact at registry; 3. Procedures for handling complaints of illegal or abusive activity, including remediation and takedown processes; 4. Thick Whois; 5. Use of the Trademark Clearinghouse; 6. A Sunrise process; 7. A Trademark Claims process; 8. Adherence to the Uniform Rapid Suspension system; 9. Adherence to the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy; 10. Adherence to the Post Delegation Dispute Resolution Policy; 11. Detailed security policies and procedures; 12. Strong security controls for access, threat analysis and audit; 13. Implementation DNSSEC; 14. Measures for the prevention of orphan glue records. |

Express your interest for a domain name under the extensionRIP
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.
