It's amazing, All. Check out the diversity of languages, names,
types and purposes. There's brands, geographic names, generics, and
a myriad of names I don't even recognize. A great mix. <br>

<div>ICANN's numbers a bit revealing and arguably sad. Quoting
the 1 pg overview:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1930 applications, after refunds, for new generic top-level
domains.<br>
1846 of those are “standard” applications. 84 are designated as
“community-based”.<span class="Apple-tab-span"
style="white-space:pre"> </span><br>
<br>
Of the 1930, 66 have designated themselves as geographic name
applications.<br>
116 applications are Internationalized Domain Names, or IDNs,
using non-Latin scripts.</div>
<div><br>
Just three applicants seek support through ICANN’s Applicant
Support Program [that CS fought to get established.]</div>
<div><br>
Applications from 60 countries. Using ICANN’s definitions of
the world’s regions:</div>
<div><br>
911 applications came from North America. </div>
<div>675 from Europe. </div>
<div>303 applications are from the Asia-Pacific region. </div>
<div>24 are from Latin America and the Caribbean. </div>
<div>17 from Africa.</div>
<div><br>
Some domain names have been applied for by more than one
applicant. There are 230 domain names for which at least two
applications were submitted, involving a total of 751
applications.<br>
