BRS Media Submits Formal Notice to ICANN Chair on CPE Policy Integrity and Next Round Protections

San Francisco, CA, April 16, 2026 –  BRS Media Inc. today announced it has submitted a formal notice to Tripti Sinha, Chair of the Board of Directors of ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), raising urgent concerns over the systematic abuse of the Community Priority Evaluation (CPE) process within the New gTLD Program.

In the letter, BRS Media details a recurring pattern in which applicants secure priority status by presenting narrowly defined community-based registration policies, only to later seek removal or weakening of those restrictions after delegation. The company asserts that this practice effectively converts community-based top-level domains into unrestricted commercial registries, contrary to the intent of the CPE framework.

“This submission builds upon our original correspondence to ICANN in 2014, as well as subsequent accountability proceedings, and reflects our continued concern that CPE is being used as a strategic mechanism to secure advantage in the application process”, said George T Bundy, CEO of BRS Media. “We believe this pattern raises fundamental concerns regarding fairness, transparency, and policy integrity, particularly as ICANN prepares for the 2026 New gTLD application round”

In its communication to the Board Chair, BRS Media calls for immediate safeguards, including:

  • Mandate and strictly enforce community-based registration commitments as binding obligations, with clearly defined sunset provisions to prevent post-delegation dilution or removal.
  • Formal review of any post-delegation policy changes.
  • Compliance mechanisms, including potential penalties for non-adherence.
  • Increased transparency and ongoing reporting requirements.

BRS Media urges ICANN and its Board to address these concerns prior to the opening of the 2026 round to ensure fairness, accountability, and trust in the program.

BRS Registry Publishes Strategic Guide for Evaluating Registry Service Providers Following ICANN RSP Applicant List Release

BRS Registry Publishes Strategic Guide for Evaluating Registry Service Providers Following ICANN RSP Applicant List Release

San Francisco, CA, February 3, 2026 – Following the publication of the official Registry Service Provider RSP applicant list by ICANN, BRS Registry, a division of BRS Media Inc., today announced the release of a new indepth blog post and evaluation framework designed to help TLD applicants make informed long term decisions when selecting a backend registry partner.

The blog post, “ICANN’s RSP Applicant List Is Out How to Evaluate the Right Registry Service Provider for Your TLD,” provides applicants with a practical, business focused approach to assessing RSPs based not only on technical compliance, but on strategic fit, operational maturity, and long term success.

“The release of the RSP applicant list is a milestone but it is only the beginning,” said George T Bundy, CEO of BRS Media. “Your Registry Service Provider becomes the operational foundation of your TLD. We have spent nearly 30 years working with RSPs in live production environments, and we have seen firsthand how the right or wrong choice can shape a TLD’s future for decades.”

Beyond Compliance Choosing the Right Long Term Partner

The BRS Registry blog emphasizes that Registry Service Providers are not interchangeable commodities. While all approved RSPs meet ICANN’s baseline technical requirements, their real world strengths vary widely depending on TLD type, business model, registrar strategy, and growth ambitions. The post also introduces a comprehensive RSP Evaluation Checklist to help applicants compare providers systematically and objectively.

Independent Guidance for the Next Application Round

Unlike Registry Service Providers, BRS Registry operates as an independent advisor, helping applicants evaluate backend partners from the perspective of an experienced registry operator not a vendor.

“We have worked with Registry Service Providers for nearly 30 years through launches, migrations, policy shifts, and market cycles,” Bundy added. “That allows us to ask the questions applicants may not yet know they need to ask.”

As interest builds toward the next ICANN application round, BRS Registry’s guidance is aimed at applicants seeking to build durable, differentiated, and future ready TLDs.

The full blog post and RSP Evaluation Checklist are now available through BRS Registry at

Industry First Quadrant Analytics for Top-Level Domain Brand Awareness

Industry First Quadrant Analytics for Top-Level Domain Brand Awareness

 

 

The “Four Quadrant” Matrix is used by consultants, executives and strategy teams and project managers to solve problems such as SWOT Analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) and is one of the most valuable and widely used tools for decision making.

For the first time BRS Media, a leading-edge firm that provides data-driven content strategy, unparalleled digital branding expertise, and world-class storytelling to the Top-Level Domain Marketplace, has released the Industry’s first Brand Awareness Analytics for consumer recognition of TLDs.

The Quadrant Brand Analytics are based on value of factors, including but not limited to; yield per domain name, price point, popularity of sites, type of usage, and TLD recognition. Each of the four sections has a specific combination of negative and positive values for x and y. The coordinate axes divide the plane into four quadrants, labelled first, second, third and fourth as shown.

This TLD Industry Quadrant Brand Analytics reflect the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of consumer awareness and brand development across the Top-Level Domain sector. Our focus is to help registry operators to better understand the relationships between building consumer awareness and brand strategy (Yield/Visibility), to ensure that a TLDs culture cuts through and translates into best-in-class online experience for the audience and clients.

 

  Focus on 1st Quadrant:

 

The 1st Quadrant focuses on Weaknesses and Opportunities of the Lower Yield, Low Visibility TLDs in the Sub-Dollar Commodity based sector. Better longer term opportunities could be achieved with building consumer awareness and brand recognition, in an attempt to achieve better Yield and Visibility, that will increase the Top-Level Domains Brand Currency valuation.

BRS Media will be in attendance at the ICANN meeting in Montreal, Canada. New gTLD, ccTLD or Legacy TLD Registry Operators looking to position Top-Level Domains to cut through and translate into outstanding online experience for the audience, contact George Bundy or schedule a call via branding@brsmedia.com
