“The rules and procedures for the Radio Global Domain Sunrise Period will follow the same rules published by ICANN for the validation of trademarks into the Trademark Clearinghouse. In addition, the sunrise will offer an Industry first, flat rate application fee with validation block on both GLDs. This sunrise fee, to accredited registrars, will cover the trademark application, and upon validation a full 10 year block awarded in both Radio.am & Radio.fm Global Domain Extensions.
