.Feedback domain names will come with a full-fledged feedback system.
Jay Westerdal’s company Top Level Spectrum has submitted a request to ICANN to offer a feedback platform combined with its forthcoming .feedback top level domain name.
The platform would mean that .feedback registrants could almost instantaneously launch a site on their domain names with a full-fledged feedback system. They could just register the domain and then log in to set up the site.
In some ways, it would be like how .tel offers an information platform integrated with .tel registrations. However, registrars would have the option of not bundling the service with .feedback registrations.
The company is partnering with QuestionPro, another Seattle company, to offer the service.
As for what the proposed service would mean for competition? “This TLD is awesome for competition,” writes Top Level Spectrum.
Although many registrars shudder at the thought of packaged services like this, this is one of the first inklings of “innovation” in top level domain names.

TLDs have to Offer something related to the domain otherwise they go with .com. Provide the function of your ltd and get your market share and that’s creates value. Innovation is coming to the ltd space and vnoc is focused on being the leader for such niche url platforms. More TLDs will follow with these packaged services..

I can see this as only a brand protection domain, speculators, and mom n pop operations do not have much value in this. Corporate users already specific systems in place.
Andrew Allemann says
If that’s the case, then making it easy for consumers to set up a “gripe” site on the domains is sure to spur companies to be proactive about protection.
