To bundle feedback platform with domain names — .Feedback plans

.Feedback domain names will come with a full-fledged feedback system.

Jay Westerdal’s firm Top Level Spectrum has submitted a request to ICANN to offer a feedback platform combined with its forthcoming .feedback top level domain name.

The platform would mean that .feedback registrants could almost instantaneously launch a site on their domain names with a full-fledged feedback system. They could just register the domain and then log in to set up the site.

In some ways, it would be like how .tel offers an information platform integrated with .tel registrations. Still, registrars would have the option of not bundling the service with .feedback registrations.

The firm is partnering with QuestionPro, another Seattle firm, to offer the service.

As for what the proposed service would mean for competition? “This TLD is awesome for competition,” writes Top Level Spectrum.

Although many registrars shudder at the thought of packaged services like this, this is one of the first inklings of “innovation” in top level domain names.
