.vid

The proposed .vid top-level domain represents video - moving-image content of every kind, in its familiar shorthand form. Video is a standard medium on today's web, used for instruction, entertainment, promotion, news, and personal expression by websites of every kind. Intercap Registry proposes to operate .vid 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 publish, host, or point to video content and want a short, recognizable address for it. Intended users are members of the general public seeking that content. Intercap Registry will make .vid 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: video is a standing format for communication and publishing across every sector, produced by registrants of all sizes, and not tied to any single service, device, or trend.
