Notice of .Travel Policy Changes
The Travel Partnership Corporation (TTPC) has approved some very important policy changes
to take effect December 21, 2007 that may affect you.
As of December 21, 2007 companies that have been authenticated as eligible travel
businesses or organizations as well as individual agents will be allowed to register any
available .travel domain name directly through .travel approved registrar (trademark laws
apply).
http://www.travel.travel/dnr.htm
To access the .travel application and authentication form go to:
http://www.authentication.travel/index.jsp?ap=trap . Here you will be able to apply for your
authenticated UIN number which will allow you to purchase your requested names from an
approved registrar.
Travel organizations that have already applied for or registered a .travel domain name and
have a confirmed UIN can go directly to any of our approved registrars at:
http://www.travel.travel/dnr.htm to request and purchase additional names.
Travel organizations who have been unable to register a desired domain name, due to the
strict .travel policies, will now have the opportunity to register those names (if available)
starting December 21st.
There are two important places you can visit now to determine what .travel domain
names you might be interested in are still available.
o http://www.whois.travel/ - go here to enter any domain names you are
interested in. This site will tell you if a name is available and if not, who has
registered it.
o http://www.authentication.travel/reserved.jsp - this is an important site to be
aware of because it shows 'Place Names and Industry Terms' that are
currently reserved and not available for registration. This is important because
if you type in a name that is on this list in the Whois link above it may show
the name you type in as not registered giving you the impression that it is
available, which is not the case because it is a reserved name. This,
however, will change on December 21 when the new policy will result
in most of these names being released for general registration.
All policy changes and more can be found at http://www.ttpc. travel/ and http://travel.travel .
If you have any questions about the changes, please send an email to
support@authentication.travel .
