Es sind die Buchstaben von A bis Z wie auch die Zahlen von 0 bis 9 möglich. Lediglich Domains, die einem Länderkürzel entsprechen, wie etwa ch.coop oder be.coop, sind vorerst nicht möglich. Die Vergabe erfolgt nicht per Auktion oder "first come, first served", sondern über ein Bewerbungsschreiben, genannt "Expression of Interest" (EOI).
Die Registrierugnsstelle schreibt:
"All submissions should be in English although supporting information may be provided in other languages. All awards will be final and the names will be made available to those registrants for registration at that time. If the name is not registered with 7 days of being awarded, then any other EOI for that domain will be reconsidered and a new recipient selected and notified. dotCoop reserves the right to impose an application fee not in excess of USD$500 if the number of EOI’s is unexpectedly large".
Und sie fährt fort:
"The evaluation of the Expressions of Interest will consider, at a minimum: - whether the domain would be actively used; an activation schedule should be included with the EOI; - previous use or identification with the name being requested including registered trademarks in use by the cooperative (although previous use is not required); - whether the eligible organization has particular standing within its regional, national or international cooperative organizations or sectors; - whether the proposed use will be specific to the registrant or in general support of a geographic or sectoral group of cooperatives with wider use and/access being encouraged without financial restrictions. However, such open access is not required."
