New gTLD’s: Sunrises as at 10 April 2014

Six months after the release of the first gTLD and 82 Sunrise periods later, almost as many new gTLDs remain available or are expected to become available over the next few months. These include Starting Dot, the registry operator for .ARCHI, the .BIO and the .SKI.

Usage of .ARCHI will be limited to qualified architects, members of an organisation or a national association which is itself a member of the International Union of Architects (UIA), which represents approximately 1.3 million architects. Sunrise opened on 8 April 2014 and will close on 8 June 2014.

As for the .BIO gTLD, it will obviously be dedicated first and foremost to the organic farming sector. However, it could equally attract the life and natural sciences sectors and biography.

Finally, the new gTLD .SKI targets ski professionals and will be a good reference to facilitate access to resources for those who practice this sport.

We remind you that a Trademark registered in the Trademark Clearinghouse along with the corresponding SMD file is required to register a domain name during a Sunrise period.
