.network is a top-level domain (TLD) that was successfully delegated by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) in August 2014. The registry operator for this TLD is Donuts (Trixy Manor, LLC), who applied for it as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program. The domain is categorized under the Technology category and is intended to be an open TLD without any pre-registration policies. Donuts has stated that they will adhere to all registration policies required by ICANN and have remediation and takedown policies in place to address any potential abuse.
The acquisition of a .network domain comes with some restrictions. In October 2013, ICANN identified .network as one of the strings that were not eligible for an alternative path towards delegation due to potential name collision issues. This means that applicants for this TLD had to wait for more plans and research to be published before continuing towards delegation. Additionally, during the application process, Donuts announced a Sunrise Period for the string, which began on September 30, 2014, and ended on November 29, 2014. This period allowed trademark holders to register their marks in the .network domain before general availability. There are no current restrictions on owning a .network domain beyond these established processes.
