The mission of the proposed gTLD is to provide a dedicated domain space in which users can publish blogs. All registered domains in the .blog gTLD will automatically be delegated to Google DNS servers, which will in turn provide authoritative DNS responses pointing to the Google Blogger service. The mission of the proposed gTLD is to simplify the Blogger user experience. Users will be able to publish content on a unique .blog domain (e.g., myname.blog) which will serve as a short and memorable URL for a particular Blogger account. This mission will enhance consumer choice by providing new availability in the second-level domain space, creating new layers of organization on the Internet, improving the Google user experience, and signaling the kind of content available in the domain.</i></span><a name="ithePurposeOfTheProposedGtldBlogIsToProvideADedicatedInternetSpaceWhereGoogleCanContinueToInnovateOnItsBloggerOfferingsTheMissionOfTheProposedGtldIsToProvideADedicatedDomainSpaceInWhichUsersCanPublishBlogsAllRegisteredDomainsInTheBlogGtldWillAutomaticallyBeDelegatedToGoogleDnsServersWhichWillInTurnProvideAuthoritativeDnsResponsesPointingToTheGoogleBloggerServiceTheMissionOfTheProposedGtldIsToSimplifyTheBloggerUserExperienceUsersWillBeAbleToPublishContentOnAUniqueBlogDomainEgMynameblogWhichWillServeAsAShortAndMemorableUrlForAParticularBloggerAccountThisMissionWillEnhanceConsumerChoiceByProvidingNewAvailabilityInTheSecondlevelDomainSpaceCreatingNewLayersOfOrganizationOnTheInternetImprovingTheGoogleUserExperienceAndSignalingTheKindOfContentAvailableInTheDomaini">&nbsp;</a><a href="#ithePurposeOfTheProposedGtldBlogIsToProvideADedicatedInternetSpaceWhereGoogleCanContinueToInnovateOnItsBloggerOfferingsTheMissionOfTheProposedGtldIsToProvideADedicatedDomainSpaceInWhichUsersCanPublishBlogsAllRegisteredDomainsInTheBlogGtldWillAutomaticallyBeDelegatedToGoogleDnsServersWhichWillInTurnProvideAuthoritativeDnsResponsesPointingToTheGoogleBloggerServiceTheMissionOfTheProposedGtldIsToSimplifyTheBloggerUserExperienceUsersWillBeAbleToPublishContentOnAUniqueBlogDomainEgMynameblogWhichWillServeAsAShortAndMemorableUrlForAParticularBloggerAccountThisMissionWillEnhanceConsumerChoiceByProvidingNewAvailabilityInTheSecondlevelDomainSpaceCreatingNewLayersOfOrganizationOnTheInternetImprovingTheGoogleUserExperienceAndSignalingTheKindOfContentAvailableInTheDomaini"><img src="http://scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif" class="imgBlogpostPermalink" width="6" height="9" border="0" alt="permalink"></a></div>
