ICANN Commends .JOBS Use of Trademark Clearinghouse
5 April 2013
Beijing, ChinaŠ The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
(ICANN) welcomes the decision by. JOBS to use the Trademark Clearinghouse
database to support a sunrise registration period ahead of its planned open
registration period to begin later this year.
Established in 2006, .JOBS is uniquely positioned as a TLD Registry Operator
never to have held a sunrise period prior to launching its initial general
registration process.
"Later this year and for the first time, .JOBS intends to open up the types
of names that can be registered. This will allow people around the world to
register whatever name they choose on a first come, first serve basis, so
long as the types of registrants and types of registrations are consistent
with the .JOBS Charter," said Tom Embrescia, Chairman of .JOBS. "As an ICANN
authorized solution to rights¹ protections in the New gTLD Program, using
the Clearinghouse to support .JOBS sunrise registrations is the best
approach for the registry, as well as for brand holders before .JOBS
launches open registration."
"We appreciate and support the .JOBS decision to use the Clearinghouse to
support its upcoming planned sunrise period," said Fadi Chehadé, President
and CEO of ICANN. "Here we have an opportunity with an existing TLD to learn
how the Clearinghouse might impact the sunrise registration process. It will
give us a critical perspective just as New gTLDs are coming online.
