Van Couvering notes a few prescient points in the IBM submission including that:
- IBM is pleased that there will be no requirement for a sunrise period, which wouldn’t make any sense if the top-level domain were used for internal company purposes, and not sold to the public
- IBM notes that as yet there is no requirement that .brand top-level domains must use registrars.
The only company to date that has openly expressed their interest in
applying for a new gTLD is Canon, notably another IT company.
