Dot Advice has been created by Phil Buckingham, specifically to advise applicants in ICANN's complex application process, to invest in and subsequently to run the finances and operations of new generic Top Level Domain (gTLDs ))registries.

Dot Advice is supported by an International accounting firm, independent of the evaluation process. This allows scalability and a global reach to applicants throughout the world.

Dot Advice, with Phil Buckingham as its CEO, has been involved in the domain name system (DNS) since the start in 1994. This huge amount of experience, in starting up a registrar as its CFO, subsequent IPO flotation on the LSE in 2000 combined with many business connections and recommendations within the DNS, being involved in the creation of Nominet, the.uk registry and ICANN means he has total empathy with any organisation considering applying in 2011 for its own .brand . city .cause .company or .whatever

ICANN's decision to open up the internet addressing space, moving away from the dot com era, through innovation, choice and competition, will result in a major irreversible change. The impact will affect anybody who currently uses or who would like to use the Internet.
