.fam

The proposed .fam top-level domain represents the familiar shorthand for family and the people closest to us. The word is in wide everyday use, in conversation, messages, names for households and groups of friends. Intercap Registry proposes to operate .fam as an open namespace, available for registration by the general public without restriction. Intended registrants include individuals, families, creators, businesses, and organizations of all kinds that want a warm, informal address for personal pages, shared photo and event sites, and family-oriented content and products. Intended users are members of the general public seeking that content. Intercap Registry will make .fam 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: family pages, shared albums, reunions, announcements, and family-run businesses are standing features of the web across regions and cultures, and the term is not tied to any trend, platform, or single company.

The mission of .fam is to provide an inclusive namespace for families, friends, communities, social groups, shared interests and relationship-focused services.
