.newholland is a Brand TLD proposed in ICANN's New gTLD Program. The applicant was Fiat Industrial S.p.A.[1] Subsequent to Fiat Industrial's application, the company merged with C.N.H. Global N.V., forming CNH Industrial N.V.[2]. CNH Industrial N.V. was awarded the .newholland TLD and entered into a Registry Agreement with ICANN on September 3, 2015.[3]
On September 20 2020, CNH Industrial submitted a Notice of Termination to ICANN.[4]. This was one of three Brand TLDs that CNH Industrial was terminating, along with .case and .caseih.[4] ICANN has made a preliminary determination not to transition operation of the TLD to another party. It is expected that the Registry Agreement will be terminated in 2021.[5]
