In accordance with ICANN's suggestion of
submission of an "Expression of Interest", RNDNetwork
Incorporated hereby submits this letter. RNDNetwork
Incorporated has established prior use of the gTLD ".rnd",
and intends to operate a registry for this and other
gTLDs. RnDNetwork
Incorporated has been operating
.rnd in the ORSC root zone.
RNDNetwork Incorporated envisions
a gTLD for use by the research and development community.
Registrants might include corporations, universities,
individuals and government agencies with an affinity towards
research and development. It is the opinion of RNDNetwork
Incorporated that the original intention of TLDs was
to segregate, BY AFFINITY GROUP, host names on the Internet.
The establishment of a .rnd gTLD is in line with this view.
RNDNetwork is investing in systems which will
enable the management and operation of gTLD registries, and
anticipates the potential for operating .rnd and several
other gTLDs. RNDNetwork will examine the ICANN
application process, and anticipates moving forward with
that process, pending review.
