§ 1 — Sens de la chaîne Q118·Q120

Common English verb and noun. To make is to produce or bring something into existence; a make is the manner or brand of manufacture. The string is used in that ordinary sense.

/meɪk/

§ 2 — Mission et objet Q133

The mission of .make is to give the people who produce things an address that names what they do rather than what they sell. The string is the ordinary English verb ""make"" - to produce or bring into existence. It is applied for and will be operated in that plain descriptive sense, as an open namespace.
Registrants are producers of every size and discipline: artisans and craftspeople, independent designers, small manufacturers and workshops, food and drink producers, repair and restoration businesses, shared workshops and fabrication spaces, technical and vocational schools, and the software builders, tool vendors and open source projects who use the same word for what they do. Agencies and consultants working on their behalf are equally welcome. Users are customers, buyers, students and collaborators looking for the person or workshop behind an object, and the retailers, press and marketplaces that route them there.
Producing something is an identity before it is a business. A maker generally has a practice, a workshop name and a body of work well before there is a company, an incorporation or a catalogue - and by the time there is, the matching name in the incumbent namespaces is long gone or held dormant. A namespace built on the verb answers that at the point where the identity forms. workshop.make is short, states an activity rather than a category, and does not force the registrant to choose in advance between craft, industry, food or software - which matters, because that choice is often the least stable part of a small producer's business. It also separates the practice from any single product line, which is useful when one workshop carries several.
The TLD will launch with the rights protection mechanisms required by Specification 7, including a Sunrise period and a Trademark Claims period. General Availability will then be open, with no eligibility restrictions and no reservation of the namespace to the applying entity or its affiliates. Distribution will be through ICANN-accredited registrars on published, non-discriminatory terms consistent with Specification 9, including any affiliated registrar, which will receive the same terms as every other. Technical operation is contracted to a pre-evaluated Registry Service Provider, and abuse mitigation follows the Mandatory Public Interest Commitments and the DNS abuse obligations of the Base Registry Agreement, with a published abuse point of contact.
Making is a permanent activity rather than a market segment, practised across crafts, manufacturing, food, construction and software alike, so demand is not exposed to the fortunes of one sector. An address of this kind also ends up in the places that are expensive to revise - stamped or printed on objects, on packaging and labels, in catalogues, on workshop signage and in marketplace listings - so allowing it to lapse breaks references that remain in circulation, and renewal is the ordinary outcome. The verb is short, common, and understood in the same sense across language markets, and it belongs to no vendor or platform. The applying entity belongs to an established hosting group with a direct channel to independent producers and small businesses, so awareness does not rest on paid acquisition alone, and registry operations are contracted to a pre-evaluated Registry Service Provider under a signed agreement, so the obligations of the Registry Agreement are met throughout ramp-up without depending on registration revenue alone.

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.
