.med
.med is a top-level domain for the internet, launched on 3 December 2015, intended for websites related to medicine.[1][2]Med like all the other top-level domain needs to be delegated to an organization.[1]
Google and the Cleveland Clinic both submitted applications to control this top-level domain, but both were rejected after objections by the International Chamber of Commerce in 2014.[3] The decision against Cleveland Clinic's application was reversed later that same year.[4]
In 2015, the application of Medistry LLC, a subsidiary of Second Generation Ltd, was accepted.
