The .charity top-level domain (TLD) is a proposed new generic domain name that was applied for in the New gTLD Program of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). The TLD is currently in the proposed status, with two applicants: Donuts (Corn Lake, LLC) and Famous Four Media (Spring Registry Limited). Both companies are registry operators that have applied for numerous new gTLDs. The .charity domain aims to serve the commerce category and is intended for use by charitable organizations.
The acquisition of the .charity domain comes with certain restrictions due to objections raised during its application process. ICANN's Independent Objector (IO) filed a Community Objection against both applications, citing potential harm to the community and limited public interest. Famous Four Media submitted an additional Public Interest Commitment (PIC), which restricted registrations of the .charity string to charities. This PIC became consequential in the eventual objection decision. In January 2014, an Independent Review Panel determined that the objection would be sustained for Donuts' application but not for Famous Four Media, allowing Famous Four to administer .charity without resolving a contention set. Additionally, both applicants received a GAC Early Warning from the representative of Australia and GAC Chair, Heather Dryden, due to concerns about insufficient protection mechanisms designed to prevent consumer harm in the regulated market sector. Therefore, potential buyers must ensure they meet the eligibility criteria for charitable organizations before registering a domain under .charity. There are no restrictions on owning this domain for individuals or entities outside of the charitable sector.
