[CPWG] Today's call and the ccTLD/gTLD trends/Following ccTLDs on DNS Abuse

Wed May 4 16:08:12 UTC 2022

Dear All,

I am opting to respond to one of the mails on this subject that reached 
me.

Since, I am traveling this week, I have limited time to catch up on the 
other responses.

The attachment is a visual on the ccTLDs that has been useful for me 
while doing some discussions
on geopolitics in a limited manner.

ccTLDs are highly prone to using "Domain Hack" techniques.

For example: inter.net dates back to 1992.

www.cou.ch  : Is a good choice for a couch vendor for branding but it 
has .ch

www.mydoma.in : Is a common idea in India.

coffeehou.se : Is a catchy name for a Coffee Shop

ccTLD would inject more brand information inside the web address to 
educate
visitors more about the brand.

Domain hack is an excellent way to be memorable and interesting.

Certain ccTLDs are banned by certain countries.

GEOPOLITICS ?

Also, the trend is that a .com domain name is purchased before 
registering
a ccTLD domain name.

Your thoughts on these observations please.

Sincerely,

Gopal T V
