TW Crossroads: "Dot-travel again is being considered as a Web address suffix akin to dot-com and dot-net. "
...a New York-based, for-profit company called Tralliance would provide the day-to-day management, and also would create a travel-specific search engine based on a dot-travel directory. That's supposed to make it easier for consumers to find what they want, and for the businesses to get new customers.
Only "verified" travel organizations or businesses would be entitled to register for dot-travel addresses, in an attempt to prevent non-travel businesses from snapping up rights to names to sell to legitimate travel businesses. Travel associations would be involved in authenticating all registrants, and would get "fee revenue" for doing it.
The proposals will be open for public comment from April 1 to April 30, then reviewed by an independent evaluation panel beginning in May. Icann did not specify when it would make its final decision. More information is available on the Web at www.icann.org.
