.GIVING: There’s no better way to give

The new .GIVING TLD is now generally available to any philanthropic entity – regardless of their non-profit status. You can register domains on a first-come, first-served basis.

A .GIVING domain makes it easy for both mission-driven organizations and individuals to raise money for the causes and communities they care about most. .GIVING is perfect for supporting all kinds of charitable projects, and is ideal for collecting donations and other community-building initiatives.

Changes to the .GLOBAL top-level domain

Please note, Dot Global Domain Registry Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Identity Digital Inc., assigned the Registry Agreement for the .GLOBAL TLD to its parent company, Identity Digital Limited, pursuant to Section 7.5(f)(iii) of the .GLOBAL Registry Agreement. No changes were made to the operation or jurisdiction of the .GLOBAL TLD, however, as a result of the transaction, the controller of the registration data for .GLOBAL domain names is now Identity Digital Limited.

We kindly ask that you notify your customers of this change of controller and provide them with the updated Privacy Policy.

.CN: No Special Characters in Registrant Names

As you may know, the Chinese Registry CNNIC has been enforcing the Real-Name Verification (RNV) regulation for .CN, .中国 (.xn--fiqs8s), .公司 (.xn--55qx5d) and 网络 (.xn--io0a7i) domains since last year. The RNV process requires a real name of an individual person to be provided in the Owner Contact. In addition, proof of identification (passport, ID card) is necessary in order to register, transfer or trade a .CN domain.

We had some failed audits due to special characters in the registrant name. After consulting with the registry, the following fact emerges:
If the registrant is foreign (not Chinese) and the name contains special non-English characters, CNNICcannot process the review of the passport and registration / transfer / trade cannot be completed.

Solution: The only option is to provide a registrant name without special characters. If the registrant is a company, the domain may be registered to another person of the company who does not have special characters in the name and is willing to submit a verification document to CNNIC.

Please note: We refer here to the full name as it appears on the verification document such as the passport. Examples for special characters that lead to problems:

  • German umlauts such as ä, ü, ö
  • Spanisch / French letters with accents such as é
  • and other characters not found in the English language

If you have any further questions, please reach out to [email protected].
