§ 1 — Sens de la chaîne Q118·Q120

§ 2 — Mission et objet Q133
The .tokiomarine top-level domain is intended to benefit Internet users by enabling Tokio Marine Holdings, Inc. (hereinafter "The Company") to communicate more easily and securely with Internet users, particularly its customers, employees and affiliates. The TLD will serve as a dedicated branding, technology and services platform for The Company's mission and its businesses.
Mission and purpose. Tokio Marine Holdings, Inc. is a corporation headquartered at 2-6-4 Otemachi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan. It is an insurance holding company whose registered purpose is the management of non-life and life insurance companies, securities firms and other insurance-related and financial businesses through the holding of their shares, together with activities incidental thereto. Through the insurance subsidiaries of that group it provides non-life insurance, life insurance and related financial services to individual, corporate and institutional customers in Japan and in markets worldwide. "tokiomarine" is the Company's own corporate brand and English corporate name, Tokio Marine Holdings, Inc. The purpose of the .tokiomarine TLD is to provide a trusted, exclusively controlled namespace - operated by or on behalf of The Company - for the distribution and exchange of information among The Company and its stakeholders via websites, applications, email and other online services that reside within the .tokiomarine space. By consolidating the group's online presence under a single authoritative TLD, .tokiomarine gives users a reliable signal of authenticity and reduces the risk of phishing, spoofing and brand abuse. For an insurance group that assurance is of particular value: financial institutions are among the most heavily impersonated organisations online, and a namespace under the Company's exclusive control allows policyholders and claimants to distinguish the group's genuine services from fraudulent imitations.
Intended registrants and users. .tokiomarine is a single-registrant ".brand" TLD operated under ICANN Registry Agreement Specification 13. The Company will be the sole registrant: it initially intends to reserve all names within the TLD for itself and to register and use second-level domains for its own purposes and those of its group companies. Any third-party use of a domain would occur only under a contract with The Company that limits use to purposes The Company specifies, enforced through monitoring and prompt action. The users of the TLD are the group's customers, employees, partners and affiliates worldwide, who will rely on .tokiomarine domains to reach the group's official online services.
Activities to achieve this purpose. The Company will use .tokiomarine domains for its corporate and product websites, customer-facing services including policy and claims services, secure communications and email, and may provide related services such as hosting, content delivery and marketing under the TLD. The .tokiomarine TLD extends and protects the group's established Internet presence under a namespace it fully controls.
Sustainability over time. The Company was incorporated on April 2, 2002 and has operated continuously since, as the holding company established by joint share transfer between Tokio Marine and Fire Insurance Co., Ltd. and Nichido Fire and Marine Insurance Co., Ltd., insurance companies established in Japan considerably earlier. The .tokiomarine TLD is intended as long-term infrastructure, operated for the full term of the Registry Agreement and renewed thereafter.
Competition, differentiation and innovation. .tokiomarine does not compete with existing generic TLDs for registrations, because it is not open to third-party registration. It differentiates the group's authentic online presence from look-alike domains in open TLDs, and allows The Company to design a namespace whose structure reflects its own products, services and organisation rather than the constraints of a shared registry.

Q121As 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.
