@Richard_Hull It's a lovely initiative - one I hope many more organisations will follow.

I've started keeping track of these 'official' instances here:

@jpoesen @Richard_Hull I'd love to see news agencies do this so their journalists are verified just by being on the server

@Richard_Hull @jpoesen Sure, but I’m thinking more along the lines of bbc.news/nyt.news or similar

How about reuters.etc? That’s a catchy name.

@mysturji @Richard_Hull @jpoesen you don’t think Reuters.news would be better?

@TomRaftery I don't think so. Anyone could have registered reuters.news, whereas I know and already trust reuters.com...

@jpoesen but if some bad actor registered Reuters.News wouldn’t ICANN step in?

@TomRaftery ICANN wouldn't.

Domain registration has always been on a first come first serve basis, except for the introduction of new top level domains (.eu, .xyz, .social, ...) which *may* offer a sunrise period where trademark holders can claim their domain before the public can, if they provide the right credentials.

For .news domains there does seem to be some kind of brand protection / cyber squatting protection in place: https://identity.digital/products-services/dpml/
