GEORGE TOWN, GRAND CAYMAN, CAYMAN ISLANDS — (Marketwire) — 06/11/12 — Uniregistry Corp., a new registry services company formed by Managing Director Frank Schilling and other established industry veterans, is pleased to announce that it has applied to ICANN to operate certain new top-level domains, expanding the world of registration opportunities for domain name registrants. Uniregistry-s founders have a rich history of service to domain name registrants and have channeled their efforts and long-standing culture of service into this new venture.
Mr. Schilling has been passionate about naming since the first expansion of the domain name system in 2000: “For ten years, I-ve been waiting for a meaningful opportunity surrounding top-level domain names. Now that it-s here, I-m proud to be making the names for the registrants of the future.”
Uniregistry has partnered with Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. (ISC) to offer world-class infrastructure, technical excellence, and deep domain industry experience to registrants around the world for over fifty new top-level domains. Uniregistry-s choice of top-level domains will better serve the Internet community by providing strong semantic ties between a registrant-s interests or business and the selected domain name.
While serving registrants, users, and the broader Internet community, the team-s shared vision is to:
Establish and execute against high technical standards for registry reliability, security, and stability;
Bring transparency and neutrality to all registry policies, rules, pricing, and processes;
Provide increased registration choices and functionality to registrants;
Research and enable technical achievements in the domain name system (DNS) to foster the development of new services and enhanced security; and
Put the domain name registrants- and end-users- interests in a secure, stable, and predictable service at the heart of all its efforts.
ISC, the world-s preeminent expert in implementation and operation of DNS and related technologies, will perform registry operations for Uniregistry. ISC-s domain name software is the reference standard against which all other domain name systems are measured. ISC has been a vanguard in the expansion of the Internet.
“ISC-s Registry Services platform is enabling Uniregistry to set a very high standard for their registration policies and technical quality of a domain name registry,” said Laura Hendriksen, Vice President of Business Operations at ISC.
ISC is one of the world-s most important organizations entrusted to provide the Internet-s essential infrastructures, deeply involved in the development of DNS, DNSSEC, IPv6, DHCP, and BIND. ISC operates the F-root server, one of the 13 root server complexes on the Internet. Since shortly after its founding in 1994, ISC has maintained 100% up-time for F-root and today the servers that implement F-root process approximately 25% of the Internet-s root traffic. ISC has one of the world-s largest operational deployments of DNSSEC.
