The .health registry ended their 60-day Sunrise period on Friday, June 7th, with a total of 287 total applications, none of which were in contention, so there will be no sunrise auctions for .health.
All domains will be provisioned on Monday evening, July 10th.
Jose Rasco, CEO of dotHealth said:
“As an extension, we are focused on building a meaningful space. Combined with the fact that we have allowed for an LRP phase limited to the health industry that starts later this month, this number of registrations during Sunrise is in line with our expectations,” said . “Sure, higher numbers would be great and enable us to further communicate our vision, but at this point our focus is on the credibility of the space, not the volume.”
