According to USAToday.com AccuWeather has filed an objection with the International Chamber of Commerce on the Weather Channel’s application for the new gTLD .Weather
The Weather Channel plans to operate the new gTLD as a closed generic TLD.
According to the Weather Channel’s application:
“The mission and purpose of a new restricted .weather gTLD is to benefit internet users by ensuring increased trust, convenience and utility.”
“The .weather gTLD will create a next generation gTLD serving the interests of end users. The .weather gTLD will provide an authoritative Internet space for weather content, where the trusted services and resources of The Weather Channel, LLC (TWC), its affiliates, and partners will be closely controlled and made available to consumers around the world. The majority of the anticipated domain name registrations in .weather will be used in the communication of TWC’s content and services, including accurate, easily accessible, and potentially lifesaving weather-related information. A subset of domain names has the potential to be created and used for personalized and hyper-local information purposes.”
The objection is not yet posted on the International Chamber of Commerce site.
