With the .STAR TLD, SIPL will effectively differentiate itself by addressing the key online usage issues of safety, trust, consistency, and brand recognition associated with their brand and the millions of customers they serve globally. .STAR will be used exclusively for SIPL to register domain names for their own use; and it will not be open for the public to register domain names under. Under this mission the TLD will be operated as a critical public resource in an open, responsible, stable and secure manner with the highest level of technical security resources and mechanisms that are aligned with technical advancement and innovation in the TLD’s sector and industry. STAR registry operations and its management of the DNS is consistent with ICANN’s Affirmation of Commitments (AoC) “ensuring accountability, transparency and the interests of global Internet users”, “enhancing the operational stability, reliability, resiliency, security, and global interoperability of the DNS” while “adequately addressing consumer protection, malicious abuse, and rights protection issues” (http:⁄⁄www.icann.org⁄en⁄about⁄agreements⁄aoc⁄affirmation-of-commitments-30sep09-en.htm). SIPL guiding principles for .STAR: STANDARDS COMPLIANCE, SECURITY, RESILIENCY, AND STABILITY Afilias is the DNS Registry provider for .STAR providing a standard, secure and stable technical operation of the TLD. Details of technical and operational capabilities matching the .STAR mission are provided in responses to questions #23-44. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION AND TRUST Since .STAR will be a single-registrant gTLD intellectual property protection will be at the highest level and not be a significant concern. All registrations associated with the .STAR domain will be conducted, authorized, and verified by SIPL on a case by case scenario through the process described in response to question #18b. This way all Internet users are assured the highest level of trust and authenticity when they visit a .STAR domain associated with the SIPLʹs brands. There will be two phases in the .STAR launch. The first phase will be the Sunrise period that will incorporate all ICANN trademark protection requirements developed for new gTLDs, including the trademark clearinghouse. In the second stage SIPL will register domains and use them to cater to their existing customer base globally under their trusted brand. |
