The .university top-level domain (TLD) is a proposed and delegated TLD under the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) New gTLD Program. The registry provider is Demand Media, with Donuts serving as the registry operator. The .university TLD falls under the category of Education and was delegated to the Root Zone on April 11, 2014. This domain is intended to be a generic TLD, catering to a wide range of Internet users, particularly those associated with institutions of higher education and research. Donuts, the parent applicant for this TLD, aims to increase competition and consumer choice at the top level by operating it in a legitimate and secure manner.
Donuts has taken a unique approach to protection mechanisms for the .university domain. Unlike some applicants who seek to limit abuse by restricting access to second-level names, Donuts believes that such restrictions are unnecessarily restrictive and harmful to users. Instead, they have committed to an extensive array of protections against abuse, including robust trademark protections. These protections exceed those in existing TLDs and bring nearly two dozen new rights and protection mechanisms to raise user safety and protection to a new level. By applying these protective measures, Donuts aims to create a safer space for Internet users than existing TLDs.
