The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has invited comments on the new generic Top Level Domain (gTLD) applications.
A press statement made available to DigitalSENSE News noted
that at the Prague ICANN public meeting, the new gTLD Programme Committee
decided to terminate Digital Archery, and instructed ICANN staff to proceed
with the initial evaluation of applications as quickly as possible.
This evaluation is in progress based on a tentative project
plan that foresees the processing of applications in a single batch, and
simultaneous release of results.
ICANN believes this approach is consistent with the
constraints that various parts of the community have in performing their
respective roles in the evaluation process, and with the feedback received from
the community at the Prague meeting.
This comment opportunity, ICANN says, seeks input on
requirements for an evaluation and delegation process consistent with previous
root zone scaling discussions of smooth delegations, adding no more than 1,000
new gTLDs per year.
This outcome is expected to achieve by the timing of the
release of evaluation results to applicants, timing of the release of
applications into the pre-delegation steps of contract execution and
pre-delegation testing, metering of delegations of new gTLDs into the root
zone.
ICANN also says it’s committed to executing the evaluation
and delegation process in a way that is equitable and meets ICANN’s commitment
to ensuring the security and stability of the Domain Name System (DNS),
consistent with previously established root zone scaling goals.
... Making SENSE of digital revolution!
