Bill Doshier, President of dotStrategy, a Conway, Arkansas Internet development company, will instruct the unique course offering participants a real-world experience around one of the most significant and exciting changes to the Internet in recent years.

Later this year, new ‘right of the dot’ Internet Top Level Domains will be launched beyond the current well-known .com, .net., .org, and .edu. offerings.

"dotbuzz" (.BUZZ) and "dotfun" (.FUN), applied for by dotStrategy to the Internet Corporation of Assigned Name and Numbers (ICANN) are two of the new generic Top Level Domains to be available for domain name registrations.

Creative Consulting students will be instrumental in helping build the success of .BUZZ and .FUN.

As you work through the process of this course, you build a relationship with these students. It has this ‘help me, help you’, feel to it. We introduce them to a leading edge change coming to the Internet naming system that will affect them, they introduce us to the current leading edge ideas and thinking of their generation that will affect our product. These young adults are very sharp and creative! Great results came out of our first effort. I expect even better ideas from this group."
