18.1 MISSION AND PURPOSE OF .XEROX

Xerox DNHC LLC (Xerox DNHC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Xerox Corporation (Xerox), has filed this application for a .XEROX gTLD to serve as a trusted, hierarchical, and intuitive namespace for the goods and services that Xerox provides to its customers on a global basis. As a registry operator, Xerox DNHC will be entrusted to provide domain name registration services to Xerox, its subsidiaries, affiliates, licensees, strategic partners, and⁄or any other designated third party. Through a unified corporate approach, Xerox DNHC also intends to submit an application for a .FUJIXEROX gTLD.

Xerox is primarily pursuing this application in ICANN’s first round for defensive reasons given the uncertainty regarding when ICANN will be opening a second round. Therefore, although Xerox DNHC is committed to moving forward with a .XEROX gTLD application, at the time of filing this application there has not been enough time or market information available to fully analyze and evaluate all potential use case options.

18.1.1 XEROX CORPORATION

Xerox is the world’s leading enterprise for business process and document management with over $22 billion in annual sales. With over 140,000 employees worldwide and operations in 160 countries, Xerox’s client base includes schools, small businesses, government agencies, healthcare providers, commercial printers, and Fortune 1000 companies. In addition to its own global sales force, Xerox relies upon an extended global network of 6,500 authorized sales agents and concessionaires, and approximately 10,000 technology resellers.

18.1.2 POTENTIAL BUSINESS PLAN

The potential use of the .XEROX gTLD will primarily be driven by Xerox’s future business strategies as identified in its annual report and investor filings, see http:⁄⁄news.xerox.com⁄pr⁄xerox⁄annual-reports.aspx. In addition, Xerox will be relying upon the valuable experience it has gained through the operation of the Xerox.com domain name since as early as 1986, predating the advent of HTML and the World Wide Web.

Today the Xerox.com website serves as both a source of news and information and a digital storefront. Through this website, customers can purchase the full range of Xerox products, including new printers, scanners, publishing equipment, software, paper, and ink. Customers are also able to buy refurbished products online.

Xerox DNHC currently plans a four-stage rollout for Xerox DNHC’s gTLDs:

1. Stage One

The initial stage of implementation of the gTLD will involve Xerox Corporation registering a limited number of .XEROX second-level domain names.

This initial use will provide Xerox Corporation’s IT and security personnel the time to run a number of tests to ensure seamless and secure access using .XEROX gTLD domain names, interoperability with various software and Web-based applications, and unbroken and secure use of all names. This initial allocation will also allow the appropriate Xerox DNHC staff to coordinate with the internal and external staff responsible for the delegation and setup phases of the .XEROX gTLD to ensure a proper transition from delegation to full operation.

2. Stage Two

Once all testing has been successfully completed, Xerox DNHC will begin allocating domain names in .XEROX to Xerox Corporation for more widespread internal corporate use. During this same period of time, Xerox Corporation will begin evaluating strategies to potentially migrate traffic away from its current patchwork network of second-level domain names, which are registered in a variety of TLDs, to Xerox DNHC’s new Family of gTLDs.

It is in Stage Two that Xerox Corporation will evaluate expanding the operations of the gTLD to permit registration by other registrants such as licensees or strategic partners. Should an assessment of its expansion strategy lead to a decision to extend registration rights to other parties, this expansion is currently planned to take place during Stage Three. However, any expansion would be conditioned upon a review of the Specification 9 (Registry Code of Conduct) set forth in the template Registry Agreement to ensure compliance with Xerox DNHC’s business model.

3. Stage Three

Depending upon the analysis of the evaluations undertaken in Stage Two, Xerox DNHC may begin to implement the permanent migration of Internet traffic away from the TLDs in which Xerox Corporation’s domain names are currently registered, and toward Xerox DNHC’s new family of branded gTLDs. It is in this stage that Xerox DNHC also may implement Xerox Corporation’s decision to extend registration rights to licensees or strategic partners, depending upon compliance with Specification 9 as noted above. The dates of such expansion are subject to change depending upon business, strategic, and industry factors at the time.

After consideration of the following factors: analysis of Xerox Corporation’s existing domain name portfolio; internal analysis of marketing initiatives; and the fact that Xerox Corporation will have full control over the number of registrations in the .XEROX gTLD namespace, Xerox DNHC is confident that the number of domain name registrations will be less than 10,000 in the first five years of operation.

4. Stage Four

Based on their experience with any expansion implemented in Stage Three, Xerox DNHC and Xerox Corporation will assess whether the business plan and expansion strategy should be augmented by extending registration rights to a broader class of licensees, and potentially customers of Xerox Corporation. It is anticipated by Xerox Corporation that changes to the domain name industry, and particularly the impact of .BRAND gTLDs, will take at least five years to be realized and assessed. Any decision to expand the gTLDs beyond corporate, qualified subsidiary⁄affiliate, and licensee⁄partner use will take into account this experience as well as the technical analysis of potential expansion.

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 extensionXEROX

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.
