> The NARALO observes that at least one ICANN-accredited registrar, United
> Domains, is offering what it calls "Free nTLD pre-registration" (see
> https://www.uniteddomains.com/ntld/pre-register-new-domains). United Domains
> began the offer in advance of ICANN's new gTLD decision in Singapore, and it
> continues afterwards, in expectation of greater availability in October
> 2012.
>
> United Domains says the pre-registration service is free and non-binding.
> However, NARALO is concerned the offer of such a service might create
> consumer confusion and possibly present the opportunity for fraud. In
> support of this concern, we note that at least one registrar, Blacknight
> Solutions of Ireland, has issued a press release warning registrants to
> disregard any such pre-registration offers in new gTLDS, and states that the
> company "discovered that registrants interested in acquiring domains in
> rumoured new gTLDs had become confused by these offers, as they are not
> familiar with how the new TLD implementation might work.  This sort of
> speculative offer is the equivalent of taking a down payment on a concept
> car that has not been approved for production. It is a false promise." (June
> 30, 2011,
> http://www.prlog.org/11565814-blacknight-warn-consumers-against-new-gtld-pre
> -registration.html).
>
> The NARALO wishes to remind ICANN that approximately 10 years ago, the
> announcement of pre-registration for new top-level domains (such as .aero,
> .coop and so-on) prompted the U.S. Federal Trade Commission to issue a
> consumer alert (http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt084.pdf)
> that said, in part, "Some registration services are guaranteeing new top
> level domain names or promising preferential treatment in the registration
> process....
>
> "But, the agency cautions, these offers may be misleading.
> "The FTC advises consumers to protect themselves by: ...Avoiding any domain
> name pre-registration service that guarantees particular top level domain
> names or preferential treatment in the assignment of new top level domain
> names.."
>
> The NARALO is aware the situation is different now than it was then, and
> that United Domains and others provide substantial disclosure information
> about the nature of the pre-registration program. The NARALO also recognizes
> the FTC action at the time was thought by some in the Internet community to
> be excessive and alarmist.
>
> Therefore, the NARALO recommends that, through ALAC, ICANN undertake public
> communication that makes clear what, exactly, consumers and others might
> expect from "pre-registration." It should be the organization that
> administers the domain name system, not the agents of domain sale, who
> should be defining the nature of Internet "real estate" in the public
> interest.
