The .education top-level domain (TLD) is an active gTLD that was delegated to the Root Zone of the Domain Name System (DNS) on December 29, 2013. The registry and manager of this TLD is Donuts (Brice Way, LLC). The application for .education was part of ICANN's New gTLD Program, which aimed to expand the number of generic top-level domains. This domain is defined as a means of providing greater expression on the Internet and will be an open TLD without pre-registration policies.
The European Commission raised concerns about the .education domain outside of ICANN's defined remediation processes. The Commission issued a letter to all applicants within the new gTLD program, including Donuts, noting that some applications could raise issues of compatibility with existing legislation and policy positions of the European Union. However, it is important to note that this objection was not part of ICANN's GAC Early Warning process, and the Commission does not consider itself legally bound to ICANN processes due to the lack of a legal agreement between the two bodies. Despite these concerns, Donuts received a Registry Agreement signed by ICANN on November 7, 2013, and .education was delegated to the Root Zone on December 29, 2013. There are currently over 30,000 registrations for .education domains, with approximately half of them parked. There are no known restrictions on owning this domain.
