.cal domain extension

The .cal domain is a generic top-level domain designed for calendar related services and applications. It is operated by Charleston Road Registry Inc., a subsidiary of Google. There are no formal eligibility restrictions for registration, though the registry has specified that the domain is intended for use in connection with calendar and scheduling services. This means registrants should expect a focus on that theme. The registry is based in Mountain View, California and uses infrastructure provided by Google. The domain was delegated in September 2014 and has been active in the root zone since then. It is one of several new gTLDs introduced during ICANN's expansion program.
