Script of String

Chinese (Han)

As per Section 3(d) of Specification 11 of the Base Registry Agreement, a registry operator of a “generic string” may not impose eligibility criteria for registering names in the TLD that limit registrations exclusively to a single person or entity and/or that person’s or entity’s “Affiliates” (as defined in Section 2.9(c) of the Registry Agreement). “Generic String” means a string consisting of a word or term that denominates or describes a general class of goods, services, groups, organizations or things, as opposed to distinguishing a specific brand of goods, services, groups, organizations or things from those of others. Confirm that the applied-for string is not a “generic string” in which the applying entity intends to limit registrations exclusively to a single person or entity.

Script of Variant String

Is this variant string for an existing gTLD that is already operated by the applying entity or for a newly applied-for string in the 2026 Round?

New TLD

What is the meaning/definition of the variant string?

An authoritative and official public independent website established on the Internet by different categories of all organizations, teams, enterprises or individuals.

Explain how the primary applied-for and variant strings are considered the same, including the meaning, by the relevant user communities.

The primary string applied by the applicant is "官网", where "官网" is a simplified Chinese character and its traditional Chinese character "官網" is a variant string. The character '官' was not simplified during the process of Chinese character simplification, and its simplified and traditional forms are the same, both being '官'. There is only one traditional Chinese spelling for the character '网', which is'網'. Traditional and simplified Chinese characters are both part of the Chinese character system, deeply rooted in Chinese cultural traditions, and important carriers for inheriting and promoting Chinese culture. Simplified characters and traditional characters are two forms of the writing system of Chinese characters. Simplified characters are formed by simplifying the strokes of traditional characters. Simplified characters are used as standard characters in Chinese Mainland, and traditional characters are still used in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan are an inseparable part of China's territory. In order to meet regional, linguistic, cultural, and customary considerations and facilitate the widespread operation of strings, we hereby apply for a traditional Chinese string "官網". Therefore, the primary "官网" applied-for and variant strings "官網" are the same, including the meaning.

Explain the benefits and the user communities who will benefit from the introduction of the applied-for variant string(s).

First of all, simplified characters and traditional characters are two forms of Chinese character writing system. Users in Chinese Mainland use simplified characters as the standard, while users in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan still use traditional characters. Therefore, in order to meet regional, language, culture, habits and other factors, the primary string is mainly used by all users in Chinese Mainland and potential users in other countries around the world who like Chinese characters, while the variant string is used by all users in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Due to the habit of using traditional Chinese characters in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, variant strings are more conducive to easy understanding and convenient operation of domain names for all users in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan. Users in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan will not be confused as a result.

Describe the steps that the applying entity will take to minimize the operational and management complexities of variant gTLDs and variant domain names that impact registrars, resellers and/or registrants.

This primary string only has one variant string, which greatly reduces the complexity of management in practical operation. The applicant plans to provide variant strings directly to users in all regions when applying for registration of the primary string, in order to minimize the complexity caused by variant strings in registration or management for domain name registrars, resellers, and/or registrants. At the same time, it supports domain name resolution function for variant strings.

This applied-for TLD is not a “generic string” using the definition of "generic string" in Section 3(d) of Specification 11 of the Base RA (as described in Question 121).
