The proposed .create top-level domain represents the act of making, writing, building, designing, recording, coding, crafting, and every other way people and organizations produce new work. The verb covers the activity itself: the tools, workspaces, and starting points where things get made.
Intercap Registry proposes to operate .create as an open namespace, available for registration by the general public without restriction.
Intended registrants include individuals, creators, businesses, and organizations of all kinds that make things or offer the tools and services for making them. Intended users are members of the general public looking to make something or to find those who do.
Intercap Registry will make .create names available worldwide through ICANN-accredited registrars, promote awareness and adoption of the namespace, publish its registration policies ahead of launch, operate the TLD openly, respond promptly to reports of abuse, and comply with applicable safeguards.
Demand for this category is sustainable: producing new work is constant activity across every sector - in commerce, publishing, software, design, and daily life - and the act of making is not tied to any trend, technology, or single company.
The mission of .CREATE is to provide an accessible namespace for individuals, businesses, organizations, communities, projects, and other entities engaged in, associated with, or wishing to be associated with creation. The purpose of .CREATE is to enable registrants to establish distinctive online identities through domain names that reflect the concept represented by the applied-for string. To achieve this purpose, SUFFIX INC. will make .CREATE available for registration through accredited registrars and other appropriate distribution channels; maintain secure, stable, and reliable registry infrastructure; implement registration and operational policies that support the availability, security, and integrity of the namespace; and provide ongoing administration of the gTLD to enable registrants to register and use domain names within the namespace. The purpose of .CREATE is sustainable over time because “create” is a broadly recognized term with enduring relevance across artistic, commercial, educational, technological, scientific, and community contexts. It applies to artists, designers, makers, developers, entrepreneurs, businesses, educators, organizations, and communities, while remaining flexible enough to serve new forms of creative activity as society, technology, and methods of communication evolve.
