The .spa domain is a proposed Top-Level Domain (TLD) in ICANN's New gTLD Program, with the status of "Proposed" as of now. The name .spa stands for Spa and Wellness Promotion Council Limited, an organization connected to over 400 licensed spas across Asia and over 2000 spa professionals. The applicant for this TLD is Asia Spa and Wellness Promotion Council Ltd., with the intent that it be a joint venture investment entity for the application process. The .spa domain aims to provide a unique online space for the global spa industry, promoting wellness and relaxation to users worldwide.
However, the rights to the .spa TLD have been a subject of controversy. DotPH, another organization with interests in the domain name industry, alleges that it was promised at least 20% ownership in the joint venture entity, Namesphere, which was formed to apply for the .spa gTLD. In October 2020, DotPH filed a lawsuit against Asia Spa and Wellness Promotion Council Ltd., DotAsia, and individuals associated with these entities, accusing them of breaching contracts or agreements and violating duties of good faith and fiduciary responsibility. The outcome of this legal dispute could significantly impact the ownership and control of the .spa TLD.
