In connection with the introduction of the .mobi top-level domain, dotMobi reserved and now continues to allocate a number of common words and phrases in an equitable manner other than a traditional “first-come, first-served” basis. This is in line with dotMobi’s contract with ICANN. The objective of the Premium Name list is to:

• create a more level playing field in the allocation of these names
• increase the likelihood that these domain names will provide the mobile community with new features and services
• preserve the stability and security of registry operations

The Premium Name Application Process for Trademark Holders ran from 15 September to 13 October 2006 and was administered by the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO). Now that the WIPO process has concluded, dotMobi has commenced the allocation process for the remainder of Premium Names. Sales will be through Auction and Request for Proposal (RFP) processes.
