Subject: New TLDs - Q07

Message:
 

 
Q7: To ensure continued stability, what characteristics should be sought in a proposed TLD and in the organization(s) proposing to sponsor and/or operate it?

A7: There's no 100% safe way, but initially it would be good to carefully check the solidity and seriousness of the candidate Registry, and the possibility of another entity to take over in case of failure.
In practice, for "commercial" gTLDs, the "marketability" of the gTLD can be a criterion: a new candidate will see the interest in "buying the business".
In other cases, the possibility of an "institutional" party to take over could be evaluated.
