.taxi is a new domain extension that was delegated to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) in May 2015. The registry responsible for managing this TLD is Donuts (Pine Falls, LLC). The domain reached its general availability on August 19, 2015. This top-level domain (TLD) was applied for by three entities: Taxi Pay GmbH, Famous Four Media (dot Taxi Limited), and Donuts (Pine Falls, LLC). The proposed application from Taxi Pay GmbH identified the taxi industry as its primary focus, with support from related industries, government organizations, and major institutions.
There are restrictions in place for buying a .taxi domain if you are not affiliated with the taxi industry. To register a .taxi domain, applicants must provide proof of their affiliation to the taxi community. This process does not involve any formalities on the side of TaxiPay GmbH, but rather an official document such as a taxi license or a certificate of registration. It is important to note that in March 2014, a Community Priority Evaluation (CPE) panel decided that Taxi Pay GmbH would not prevail as a community applicant, and the company will now have to resolve the contention set through other means such as private or ICANN auctions. Additionally, in October 2013, ICANN identified .taxi as one of the strings that were not eligible for an alternative path towards delegation due to potential name collision issues. These issues must be resolved before the TLD can continue towards delegation.
