Identifier” TLD applicant bows out — One “corporate

Applicant for six fresh TLD strings pulls applications.

An applicant for a number of corporate identifier top level domains (e.g. .llc, .inc) has withdrawn its applications.

Each of the top level domains was applied for by a separate firm, but the CEO of all of the firms was listed as Bekim Veseli. Veseli runs an information technology firm in Virginia.

The withdrawn top level domains include:

TLD / Applicant

.LLP PLL Registry, LLC
.LTD LTD Registry, LLC
.Corp PROC Registry, LLC
.INC CNI Registry, LLC
.LLC LLC Registry, LLC
.GMBH GMBH Registry, LLC

These types of top level domains are facing headwinds from governments and regulators concerned that they’ll be doled out to firms that don’t officially qualify for the identifier.

I would like to note on how many applications still exist for each of these TLDs, but ICANN broke its searchable fresh top level domain page today and it’s impossible to search by string.
