Dot .College, the only educational TLD other than .edu and .education, is priming its curriculum for a March 17th launch.
According to the web site:
“.College is an unrestricted, generic platform for people and organizations of all types to come together for a common purpose and common future”
Trademark holders will have an exclusive opportunity to register dot .College domain names bearing their marks; the Sunrise period lasts from March 17 to April 17.
After a short break, domain college hopefuls will continue with Landrush, that applies only to Universities, from April 20 to September 22.
A Public priority registration period will follow, from September 22 to September 28, and the doors of dot .College will open to all on September 29th, with General Availability.
How well will dot .College do, and will it offer something on top of dot .edu, remains to be seen.
