View source for Landrush Period

The '''Landrush Period''' is the period when, during the introduction of a new [[TLD]], registration becomes open to the public. The period, which follows the [[Sunrise Period]], is usually a fairly short window, during which applications may be submitted for registration. The process for application approval differs by [[registry]], often depending on the expected number of customers. Some process applications on a first come, first served basis, while others use a "round robin" technique, the downside of which is that [[registrar]]s may take advantage of the system by creating [[ICANN]]-accredited shell companies to afford them more turns for each round robin round. A new technique, called the "collision auction," is for the registry to take all competing applications from the registrars and send them to a closed auction, in which the winner would be awarded the domain name.<ref>[http://www.mindsandmachines.com/services/landrush-period/ Minds + Machines Landrush Period]</ref>
