.name: Second level to open on 14 January.

The marketing spin: At exactly this time, hundreds of thousands of extremely attractive names, taken on most other TLDs like .com, .net, .org, .biz and .info, suddenly becomes available, probably for the last time in many years. .NAME is the last TLD to become fully open of the 7 new top-level-domains introduced by ICANN in 2001.
