About .ACTOR Domain Names
This domain is perfectly cast for theatre, film, musical and commercial actors. It also makes a great Web address for all the acting coaches, agents, guilds, schools and venues that support them.
Registration Information
The .ACTOR launch is divided into three phases: Trademark Holder (Sunrise), Priority Pre-Registration (Landrush) and General Availability. Each phase has specific application requirements:
Trademark Holders Registration - Sunrise
From April, 30 2014, at 17:00 UTC (10 a.m. AZ time) to June 30, 2014, at 17:00 UTC (10 a.m. AZ time), trademark holders can submit an application to register a .ACTOR domain containing their owned mark, before it's available to the public.
Trademark validation goes through the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH), which is an ICANN global repository for trademark data. Visit the TMCH website for information on registering a trademark.
Bulk .ACTOR registration is not supported during this phase.
