Services
The company provides free consultation to entities that are interested in applying for .brand, .generic or Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs), and their contracted services include management of the application process, preparation of requirements, technical solutions, financial, operational and on-going management of the .brand domain name space.[2]
DotBrand Solutions Mena
DotBrand Solutions partnered with UAE-based businessmen including Nabil Alyousuf, chairman of Aljal Capital in launching DotBrand Solutions Mena. The company is targeting Doha to become the top level domain name TLD hub in the middle east.[3] [4]
ICANN Involvement
Ben Crawford represents the company in the different activities and conferences of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. He was one of the experts who participated in ICANN's Ask the Experts Campaign. He talked about Product and Marketing. According to him, competition within the domain name industry is strong and TLD applicants need to have purchasing ability to be able to find the right service providers and negotiate the right contract. Entities who plans to sell domains need multi-channel sales and marketing skills.[5]
