Appendix 3 Research interviews and salient points
STUDY 1 - NONCOMMERCIALS INTERVIEWS CONDUCTED
.org Canada Alcohol Policy Network/Ontario Public Health Association (www.apolnet.org) § We really didn’t have a choice. At the time, .CA was only available for national organizations, and we
are a project, not an organization. § The only benefit to .org is you may get more visitors outside of Canada. § We will retain the rights for .org and keep it for now. Plan to buy rights to .CA to keep that as a
future option. South America Society of Organizational Learning (Mexico) (www.sol-mexico.org) § We have a link to the Website of SOL International. It is important we maintain that connection. § There is no benefit to using a country code. We already have Mexico in the name. § We are a non-profit organization—more importantly, we are an international organization. [benefit
of being a .org] EU Countries International Federation of Journalists (Belgium) (www.ifj.org) § We thought it would be better to have .org since it identified us as an international organization. § .org can be easily explained because it is known. It’s just better for us because if we added the country
code, we would have to spell out .BE for people because they would not be familiar with it. Jewish Museum of Belgium (www.mjb-jmb.org) § When we created the Website in 1996, it was better than having a .COM. § In the beginning, it was prestigious to have a .org name. It showed you were different than a .COM. § We will definitely keep the .org and .BE domains. We will add the .MUS domain if that becomes
available. Central Europe Project Concern International Romania (Romania) (www.pciromania.org) § We choose to have a .org at the end rather than the country code because we are an international
organization, not specific to Romania. § Our Website is to target people from abroad, mostly the United States, who have Romanian roots or
interests. § We have a sister .org in the U.S., so we try to adopt the same style.
Appendices - 38
Africa Afribike (South Africa) (www.afribike.org) § Our activities extend beyond South Africa so the country code would be limiting. § .org generally denotes a non-profit organization, which is what we are, and that is why we did that. Middle East Israel/Palestine Center for Research and Information (Israel) (www.ipcri.org) § We are a non-profit organization that works internationally. We work across the borders, particularly
in bringing Israel and Palestine together. § Use of a country code would be harmful—it would be divisive. § .org names are associated with non-profits, and that’s what we are. Asia Conservative Baptist Association of the Philippines (www.cbphilippines.org) § It is not necessary to have Philippines twice in the URL. It’s already there. § It is normal for a religious organization such as ours to be .org. It’s just understood. India Association for Consumers Action on Safety and Health (www.consumersinternational.org) § Our main headquarters are based in London. We needed to distinguish it from a commercial
organization. § .org indicates it’s a not-for-profit organization. § We will renew the same name because we are part of a federation of world communication
organizations. Japan United for a Multicultural Japan (www.tabunka.org) § UMJ is an international organization, and we have more than 60 organizations with 40,000 members
in our international network. § Using our country domain .JP is easy to register with local search engines, but as we are an
international organization, we prefer foreign search engines than local. § We’re an NGO, and .org is best to explain that we are an organization.

NON-.org Canada Hotel Association of Canada (www.hotels.ca) § .COM was already taken, and .CA was the next best option. [Why country code was selected] § Back in 1993-94, .org was not presented as an option. .org just isn’t as valuable in Canada. § It’s clear who we are and where we operate. [Why country code was selected] South America Instituto Nacional de Cancer (Brazil) (www.inca.org.br) § We really didn’t have a choice. We followed the rule in Brazil to include .BR because it was on a
Brazilian server—it’s a rule of the registry. [Why country code was selected] § At the time (1998) when we included .org in the web name, it was because of the strategy of the
Brazilian government to present INCA as a social organization. § We have kept the current domain name because of the resources we have invested in it. EU Countries European Competitive Telecommunications Association (U.K.) (www.ectaportal.com) § We chose .COM rather than .org because it is not just a site for our association members. It is
supposed to be a resource for the entire telco industry. § We hope to expand e-commerce. The designation .COM is beginning to be interpreted as commerce.
So there would be no benefit for us to use .org in our name since .COM is gaining momentum. § We will keep the same name for the immediate future. We have now spent a lot of money promoting
it. Luxembourg Bankers Association (Luxembourg) (www.abblu.lu) § It was easier for us and made more sense—we are located in Luxembourg. [Why country code was
selected] § We are monitoring activities in Luxembourg. It shows that Luxembourg is our focus. [Why country
code was selected] Central Europe Stefan Batory Foundation (Poland) (www.batory.org.pl) § It shows we are an established Polish organization. [Why country code was selected] § .org would have benefits if we want to aggressively go after foreign donors. It would be effective to
drop the .PL and just go with .org. Africa Johannesburg Chamber of Commerce (South Africa) (www.jcci.co.za) § We gave some thought to .COM vs. .org. We felt that since we operate in a business-related
environment that .COM—or in our case .CO—was the best option. § .org suggests an academic environment.

§ We will keep the same name because, internationally, we are known by this name in the chamber of commerce network.
Middle East The Israel Museum (www.imj.org.il) § When we started in 1994, it was customary to put the country code in. We wanted the national
ending. § It’s good for tourism because they are looking for something specific to Israel. § We actually are considering two changes. First, to add .MUS to the end, and second, to change “imj”
to “IsraelMuseum.” Asia Australian Association of the Deaf (www.aad.org.au) § Because we are an Australian organization, and .AU is Australia. [Why country code was
selected] § It is more helpful for people trying to get in touch with you to know where you are located. Japan Japan Association for Cultural Exchange (www.acejapan.or.jp) § We thought using .OR.JP would be appropriate because we are providing information of cultural
exchange related to the Japanese government foundation. § We do not think there is any big difference between .org and .JP now adays. § We would continue using .OR.JP as our main domain because we want to identify organization as a
Japanese organization. Japan Association of Travel Agents (www.jata-net.or.jp) § When we decided our domain name, we thought that the country code should be the name of the
country where our office is located. § No benefit to using .org. We have spent a lot of money to advertise our domain name. § The .org domain name has “forward thinking” images, and also “unstable, frivolous nature.” We
prefer .OR.JP ending.

Appendix 4 Brand Assessment of the TLD Market—Qualitative Findings BRAND ASSESSMENTS OF THE TLD MARKET
PRIMARY RESEARCH SECTION Methodology A 12 minute online survey consisting of both open-ended and close-ended
questions. A sample size of 607 panelists. Invitations were emailed to the respondent panels. Cash drawing was included as an incentive to increase the participation rate Research Participants
Sample composition of 200 completed interviews among Europeans, 200 among Asians, 100 among South/Central Americans, 100 among North Americans and 7 in “other” regions.
A total of 56 countries are represented in the survey. The margin of error for the consumer sample as a whole was 4.0% at the 95%
confidence interval. TLDs Awareness
.com is the universal TLD, as nearly everyone surveyed said they were familiar with that nomenclature.
ccTLDs enjoy the same cache in Europe and Asia as .com. However, fewer than half of North or South Americans profess that they are very familiar with ccTLDs.
Almost four in five consumers worldwide say they are very familiar with .org, placing it as one of the leading top-level domains worldwide in terms of awareness.
While lacking the universality of .com, .net and .edu are also familiar TLDs to consumers worldwide.
.web, .info and .biz are less well known. Not surprisingly, those who have been online for more than five years are more
likely to be aware of multiple TLDs than newer arrivals to the web. .com Impressions
Most consumers worldwide have a favorable impression of .com as it remains the most universal TLD. Most other TLD’s have specific assigned categories in the minds of consumers.
A majority of consumers would describe a web site that uses the comTLD as businesslike, interesting, universal, and easy to remember.
Europeans and Asians are more likely than North and South Americans to describe a web site that uses .com as U.S. based.
One in ten or less would describe a web site that uses .com as confusing, gimmicky, unnecessary, limiting, non-commercial, educational, religious or charitable.
.org Impressions Most consumers worldwide have a favorable impression of .org. Consumers typically use non-commercial descriptors for web sites that use the
orgTLD. .org has strong brand equity in every region throughout the world despite the fact
that its use is predominantly in the US. Despite being well-known, whomever becomes the .org registrar should employee
some additional branding muscle behind the TLD – right now just one in five think .org is interesting or easy to remember.
One in ten or less would describe a web site that uses .org as innovative, personal, confusing, gimmicky, unnecessary, meaningless or U.S. based.
CCTLDs Impressions
Whereas impressions of .org and .com are relatively consistent across different regions, opinions of ccTLDs vary depending on the survey respondents’ country of origin. European and Asian consumers have a more favorable opinion of ccTLDs than people in other regions around the globe.

Consumers are most likely to use informational, descriptive, and easy to remember when thinking about words and phrases that illustrate a web site that uses ccTLDs.
One in ten or less would describe a web site that uses a ccTLD as innovative, confusing, gimmicky, unnecessary, meaningless, religious, charitable, or U.S. based.
Assess branding and product benefits for the orgTLD
The key differentiator for .org is that it is the most descriptive suffix for any non-commercial entity. This means that non-commercial verticals ranging from health and tourism groups to religious entities make an excellent target.
From a branding perspective, consumers tell us that there is a level of trust associated with a orgTLD that does not necessarily exist for other multi-use TLDs.
orgTLDs are preferred for non-commercial TLDs that have a local, national or international focus.
However, orgTLDs are not nearly as memorable as comTLDs or ccTLDs. Additionally, the orgTLD is not considered as universal as most other multi-use TLDs.
While the .org is the preferred top-level domain in North and South America for local, national and international non-profits, in Europe and Asia some favor a ccTLD with .org as a second level domain for local and national non-profits (but not international). Overcoming this bias in Europe and Asia may be key to international adoption of the orgTLD.
