For hosts and agencies managing domains for clients, .web's priority period may come up before a client has even heard about the extension.
Verisign announced the schedule on November 11 after ICANN approved its launch plan, and several registrars are already onboarding for it.
The announcement doesn't include pricing.
Would you mention the option during a client's normal domain review, or wait for them to ask about .web?
