18(a) Describe the mission/purpose of your proposed gTLD

Prototypical answer:

.WEB is intended to become one of the most common and easily accessible TLDs on the Internet, vastly expanding options for creating domains, and giving new opportunities to those who were unable to obtain a desired domain name under the existing TLD structure.

At the end of 2011, there were 95.5 million registered .com domain names and 220 million total registered domain names (Source: http:⁄⁄royal.pingdom.com⁄2012⁄01⁄17⁄internet-2011-in-numbers⁄). The interest and demand for new domains is only expected to grow. The .WEB TLD will help facilitate the expansion of those opportunities for Internet users, with a concise and memorable extension.

We expect that the demand to create and own new domains will drive the rapid expansion of the .WEB TLD. In conjunction with our branding and registrar promotion, we forecast 1,371,900 domains under management (DUMs) after three years.
