> ICANN has recently released the new generic top-level domain (gTLD)  
> Draft Applicant Guidebook and a series of explanatory memoranda for  
> Public Comments http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtld-comments- 
> en.htm. The memorandum being posted today is part of this series.
>
> The Draft Applicant Guide document provides information to  
> applicants wanting to apply for a new gTLD. All documents are being  
> posted in English only at this point but will be soon be available  
> in Arabic, Chinese, French, Spanish and Russian.
>
> It is important to note that they are in draft form and for  
> discussion only. Potential applicants for new gTLDs should not rely  
> on any of the proposed details of the new gTLD program. The new  
> gTLD program remains subject to further consultation and revision.

> New GTLDs and the Internet – Openness Change Innovation
>
> After years of discussion and thought, new generic top-level  
> domains (gTLDs) are being expanded. They will allow for more  
> innovation, choice and change to a global Internet presently served  
> by only 21 generic top-level domain names.
>
> As a not-for profit corporation dedicated to coordinating the  
> Internet's addressing system, ICANN is not doing this to add to its  
> revenue.  An implementation plan is being developed with  
> opportunities for public comment.  There will be processes for  
> objections. There has also been detailed technical scrutiny to  
> ensure the Internet's stability and security. There will be an  
> evaluation fee but it will recover costs only (expenses so far,  
> application processing and anticipated legal costs).
>
> Promoting competition and choice is one of the principles upon  
> which ICANN was founded. In a world with 1.5 billion Internet users  
> (and growing), diversity, choice and innovation are key.  The  
> Internet has supported huge increases in choice, innovation and the  
> competition of ideas, and expanding new gTLDs is an opportunity for  
> more.
