“The brg represents and promotes its members' interests as dotbrand operators. As an association, the brg works to improve and develop domain name policies and operational practices in support of brg members' dotbrand registries. Typically, running a top-level-domain registry is not part of an organization's core business, so the brg brings together members with common interest and issues they would like to address. A "dotbrand" is a delegated top-level domain that is identical to an organization's name or brand that the organization owns or has rights in. A "dotbrand" allows a brand-holder to operate its own registry at the root of the internet (instead of using legacy top-level-domains, such as .com, .org, or .biz). Companies from different industries applied for their dotbrand in 2012 and over 550 are now live, providing a trusted space where brand owners have complete control of the domain allocation that supports their businesses. Examples of use cases can be found here - www.makeaway.world. The brg is an association of brand owners who have been delegated one or more dotbrand top-level domain registries. We also have associated members who intend to apply to operate a dotbrand registry in the future. The brg is well placed to help its members develop, launch, and operate their new top-level brand domains. We lead on best practice for dotbrand operations and provide information, use cases, and lessons learned for a dotbrand business.”
