.kiwi is a proposed gTLD within ICANN's new gTLD program. The TLD plays off a self-identifying title used by New Zealanders, and is intended for use by New Zealand identifying companies and individuals. A company, Dot Kiwi, has been created by a group of expatriate businessmen living in Canada and intends to apply for the domain. Dot Kiwi has teamed up with Minds + Machines to apply for the domain and manage the possible registry. Minds + Machines famously brought on New Zelander, and former ICANN Chairman, Peter Dengate Thrush after his tenure as an ICANN director ended following the approval of the new gTLD program at ICANN 41.
