Proposed Service Overview
Commercial Connect, LLC believes the requested TLD, “.shop” will offer additional and rational combinations of names of a business entity and associate it with the kind or class of business engaged in, i.e., “shop.”  The word “shop” is used throughout the world to designate a place or point of commerce. It is and should be maintained as a clear designation to shoppers of where to buy products or services. 

Registry
Commercial Connect, LLC would, as registry operator, occupy an oversight capacity in relation to the registrars. The subordinate registrar will be an approved agent through whom the domain name holder obtains the desired domain name. Each registrar must assure the reliable and accurate obtaining of the customer’s information and relaying it to Commercial Connect, LLC.
