About .talk
The .talk extension is one of the round's closed generics: an ordinary English verb and noun delegated on a restricted basis through ICANN's 2012 New gTLD Program rather than opened for registration. Few words have broader constituencies — telecoms, counselling services, podcasting, conferences, and community forums all describe their function with it.
There is no registration channel, pricing, or aftermarket for .talk domains; use relates to the operator's own communication services. Short verbs of this kind were the most heavily contested non-brand strings in the program, since they form natural phrases read across the dot and suit almost any applicant with a communicating function.
