Starting Dot Application for .SKI Top Level Domain Officially Revealed by ICANN

NEW YORK, June 13, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Today, Starting Dot announced that the scheduled Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) "Big Reveal" in London included their official community application for the .SKI (Dot Ski) top level domain as part of the New gTLD program.

Ski sports participants, businesses, brands and associated press, as well as Starting Dot are extremely excited about today's ICANN "Big Reveal." For Starting Dot, the announcement marks the culmination of more than two years of dedication to the ski sports community and the start of a long future of cooperation. The obvious benefits .SKI will bring to the community and the opportunities this unique and targeted domain will create are generating lots of buzz in the community. In fact, since the official launch announcement on May 22, 2012, Starting Dot has received an overwhelming number of requests for information into the .SKI top-level domain name extension, validating the innovative nature of the ski community.

"Starting Dot and the .SKI top-level domain has the brand recognition in both the ski community and domain market as the official application best suited to support the needs of both. Combined with the official endorsements from some of the world's biggest ski organizations, we're excited to kick our outreach programs to the next level after this announcement" says Starting Dot CEO, Godefroy Jordan.

Starting Dot has begun community outreach programs to build global awareness for .SKI and liaising with potential registrars interested in providing registration services. Global and localized community programs are scheduled throughout the year and news of events and activities will be posted regularly on www.dot-ski.com.

The ski sports community will be able to begin securing web addresses with the .SKI domain name extensions in early 2013 and Starting Dot is encouraging all those interested in .SKI to contact them via its official website form at http://www.dot-ski.com/contact/.
