  • June 30 2011

As regular readers of Anchovy News will know, the process for the launch of new generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs) has been ongoing since June 2008 when the board of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) gave its approval to the proposal to introduce new gTLDs. Since then much work has gone into defining the new gTLD application process and the creation of the Applicant Guidebook (AGB) for new gTLDs. This has led to multiple iterations and publications of the draft version of the AGB with each draft being followed by a public comment period in an effort to reach a consensus position from the ICANN community and to enable the ICANN Board to approve the new gTLD program and open the application window. This process has been a lengthy one with almost every aspect of the process being scrutinised and debated by the ICANN community from the issue of suitable rights protection mechanisms (RPMs) for trade mark holders to the thorny question of Vertical Integration and registryregistrar separation. As reported in the May edition of Anchovy News, the ICANN Board had declared its intention to announce the approval of the new gTLD program and the AGB at the ICANN meeting recently held in Singapore
