| Extra information |
.coop is a generic top-level domain intended for the use of cooperatives. It was created as a result of ICANN's announcement in late 2000 of a phased release of seven new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) intended in part to take the pressure off the overcrowded .com domain. It was backed by a coalition of interest groups, was developed by the worker co-operative Poptel in the UK and became operational on January 30, 2002.
.coop is a sponsored top-level domain and restricted to those who meet specified criteria: cooperative organizations, wholly owned subsidiaries, and other organisations that exist to promote or support co-operatives. Its sponsor is DotCooperation LLC (also known as dotCoop), which was created as a subsidiary of the American NCBA (National Cooperative Business Association) to operate the TLD. It was the NCBA that funded the lion's share of the costs of creating .coop.
Though .coop is restricted as above, not all co-ops with a web presence utilize it. During part of 2005 the REI Co-Op for a time had a redirector at rei.coop that led to their main site at rei.com. Other groups may have a site in .com, .org, or under the code of the country they operate in.
Only co-operatives and associated organisations may register; eligibility is verified through organizations of co-operatives |
