Tralliance (.travel) Wants To Offer 1 and 2 Character Domains

Tralliance, the registry operator for .travel, is seeking permission to offer both 1 and 2 character domain names and a public comment period has just opened.

The .travel domain extension has had a bumpy ride over the last couple of years, but like other gTLD operators its latest pitch for the shorter names comes with some added twists. Tralliance will make available the cctld equivalents to the corresponding registry operators at normal registration cost. Whether or not the cctld operators will want to take advantage of the offer, however, is another matter.
