TLDH group signs 6 new top-level domain contracts with ICANN

 

The Directors of Top Level Domain Holdings (AIM:TLDH) are pleased to announce that the Company has signed contracts with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") for five new top-level domains (gTLDs) wholly-owned by the Company: .horse, .cooking, .casa, .fishing, and .budapest. In addition, Minds + Machines GmbH, the Company's 80% owned subsidiary, has signed the contract with ICANN for .nrw, which will serve Germany's largest state, North-Rhine Westphalia. All six applications will now progress to pre-delegation testing, the final step before delegation into the Internet's root zone.

 

Antony Van Couvering, CEO of TLDH, said:

 

"ICANN's contracting and delegation process is moving smoothly and predictably. We look forward to the timely delegation of these newly-contracted gTLDs and to signing additional contracts as they become available."

 

The Company currently has interests in 25 non-contested applications, of which contracts have now been signed with ICANN on eight. The Company continues to progress those contested applications in which it has an interest.
