The Directors of Top Level Domain Holdings believe this represents a significant step forward and underlines ICANN’s commitment to expanding the number of top level domains on the internet.

As announced by Top Level Domain Holdings on 6 November 2009, the EOI process will allow ICANN to establish the number of proposed new generic top level domains (”gTLDs“) being applied for, and to size and resolve the relevant technical issues arising from the creation of new gTLDs ahead of the formal application process beginning. The EOI process will also allow ICANN to see which applications might be in contention, and to enable ICANN, should it so wish, to categorize and sequence applications for any future roll-out.

It is anticipated that prior to ICANN’s February meeting, the ICANN staff’s recommendations on the proposed EOI process will be made public on the internet.

Frederic Krueger, Chairman and CEO of Top Level Domain Holdings Limited, commented:

“We are delighted with these developments. For the first time we are now seeing a clear time-table emerging for the expansion of top level domains on the internet. Once again we applaud the determination being shown by ICANN to starting the gTLD programme in 2010 and look forward to reviewing the EOI recommendations as and when they are made public.”

“Bavarians are proud of the their homeland and heritage, and our position as the Internet leaders in Germany. Bavaria deserves to take its rightful place on the Internet with .BAYERN, an Internet address for Bavarians,” said Bayern Connect CEO Caspar von Veltheim. “The new address will give Bavaria visibility and prestige, and will encourage innovation and new business opportunities.”

Bayern Connect GmbH, with support of prominent Bavarian organizations, will apply to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to run .BAYERN (”punkt Bayern”). ICANN will begin accepting applications for new top-level domains in the beginning of 2010. Examples of the new names include www.hotels.bayern , www.allianz.bayern, www.schmidt.bayern.

Bayern Connect wants to represent Bavarian interests on the Internet. In pursuit of that effort, Bayern Connect has already presented its project to the Bavarian State Government and aims for close cooperation with the government. Bayern Connect has already won the support of prominent Bavarian organizations. In addition, Prince Leopold of Bavaria, an enduring advocate for the preservation of Bavarian traditions, is serving as Senior Advisor and supporter of the effort. He says: “With .BAYERN, Bayern Connect will give Bavaria a home on the virtual Internet.”

.BAYERN is already in compliance with the strict technical requirements needed to win approval from ICANN. “We need a strong and stable technical infrastructure to take our place among existing top-level domains,” said von Veltheim. “We are therefore using the Espresso platform, which powers over a dozen country-code top-level domains, is used by ICANN worldwide to demonstrate security best practices, and can deliver domain names for Bavarians at a fraction of the cost of other solutions.”

Bayern Connect is developing a strong policy and legal framework to protect trademark holders. Intellectual property attorney Dr. Andreas Schulz states, “Trademark owners are entitled to a fair and transparent system by which the domain names are allocated. I will help Bayern Connect develop policies that will assure this.”

As a Bavarian business, Bayern Connect will donate a substantial portion of the annual registration revenues to Bavarian charities and cultural organizations. “Bavarians will make .BAYERN succeed, and therefore we will give back to Bavaria,” said von Veltheim.

Bayern Connect GmbH is based in Munich, and the group’s innovative plan has attracted significant funding from within Germany and from the United States. For more information, see http://www.bayernconnect.com or www.bayernconnect.de.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (”ICANN”) announced its intention to allow qualified parties to apply to own and operate new generic TLDs (”gTLDs”). DotEco, which is based in California, intends to build an environmentally-focused gTLD and entered into an integrated partnership with former US Vice President Al Gore and the Alliance for Climate Protection which supports DotEco’s efforts to raise awareness about the dangers of climate change. DotEco intends to submit an application with ICANN for the eco top level domain. The Company expects that the application and approval process could take up to 24 months. As DotEco is a start-up venture it has not to date prepared any financial statements.

When the Company made its Initial Investment, the Board anticipated then the Company’s interest in DotEco may well be diluted over time as DotEco raised additional capital in future. While there can be no assurance at this stage that the ICANN auction and application process for new gTLDs will proceed as expected or that DotEco will be successful in its applications, the Board believes that DotEco is well positioned ahead of the gTLD application process and its prospects, if awarded the eco top level domain, are potentially very attractive. In addition, the Board’s target minimum equity interest in gTLD applicants is generally 25 per cent. and the Acquisition therefore will enable the Company to achieve its preferred minimum equity interest level before any anticipated equity dilution by DotEco should its application be successful.

The vendor of the further interest in DotEco is Clark Landry, a director of the Company and founder shareholder of DotEco and who, as previously announced, has an interest of 24.87 per cent. fully diluted interest in DotEco. Accordingly, the proposed Acquisition is a related party transaction for the purposes of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules. The Independent Directors of the Company (being David Weill, Guy Elliott and Michael Mendelson), having consulted with Beaumont Cornish Limited, the Company’s nominated adviser, unanimously consider the terms of the proposed Acquisition are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company’s Shareholders are concerned.

David Weill, Chief Financial Officer said:

“Awareness is now building for the proposed .ECO domain in the international arena and we are pleased to have been able to increase our holding in ECO ahead of the application process formally beginning. We look forward to .ECO remaining at the forefront of the new top level domains expected to be launched in 2010.”

dotFM Chooses Espresso Registry Platform for .FM Top-Level Domain

JOINS 14 COUNTRIES NOW USING THE ESPRESSO PLATFORM TO BE USED BY MINDS + MACHINES FOR NEW WEB ADDRESSES

NEW YORK, Sept. 1 /PRNewswire/ — Effective today, BRS Media Inc., operator of dotFM, will use Espresso CC as the registry platform for the .FM top-level domain, home of last.fm and other prominent web addresses. Migration of all existing domain names to the new platform was completed in 48 hours over the last few days. .FM will utilize UltraDNS for domain name resolution.

.FM is the latest of 14 country-code domains to choose the Espresso CC registry platform to manage its top-level domain and to endorse the powerful Espresso platform – which Minds + Machines will use for the new top-level domains expected to launch next year.

Espresso CC, developed as a co-operative effort between CoCCA and Minds + Machines, is a next-generation registry services platform for country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs). Its rich feature set – combined with its long-established reputation for stability, ease of use and attractive pricing – has attracted growing interest and to date has been adopted by 14 ccTLDs. Its cousin Espresso, which is fully ICANN-compliant, will be used by Minds + Machines for the new generic top-level domains to be issued by ICANN early in 2010.

“After comparing several registry systems along with soliciting input from major registrars, we are pleased to have upgraded to the Espresso CC Registry Platform,” said George T Bundy, Chairman and CEO of BRS Media Inc. “With its impressive management features, field-tested stability, and fully integrated EPP compliance, the Espresso CC is the benchmark for the exciting future of dotFM.”

“We’re thrilled to see dotFM join the growing list of top-level domains that have chosen to rely on Espresso, and we look forward to providing this terrific platform to the new web addresses from ICANN that are creating so much excitement,” said Antony Van Couvering, CEO of Minds + Machines. “George Bundy is an Internet pioneer with long experience and his choice of Espresso is a huge vote of confidence that we’re very proud of.”

In addition to highly popular top-level domains such as dotFM, Minds + Machines provides capacity-building grants through CoCCA to emerging country-code registries – providing equipment, training and ongoing guidance as well as free implementation of the Espresso CC platform.

ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) will early next year begin accepting applications for top-level domains named after cities, companies, brands and entrepreneurial ventures. Minds + Machines has previously announced partnerships to provide registry services using the Espresso platform for proposed new web addresses including .eco (www.supportdoteco.com), .nyc (www.dotnyc.net), .roma (http://www.ildominiodiroma.it/index_eng.html) and .radio (http://www.dotradio.info)
