ICANN Launches New Online Information Center for New Generic Top-Level Domains

As an online home for information about New Generic Top Level Domain program ICANN has designed a new micro-site.  This site can be accessed from a button on the home page of ICANN.ORG or by going directly to http://newgtlds.icann.org/.

This user- friendly micro-site is designed for everyone regardless of their knowledge of gTLDs. ICANN is in the midst of a major campaign to raise awareness around the world about the impact and possibilities of new gTLDs.

In a quest to ensure that the New gTLD Program is inclusive and accessible to all parts of the world, the ICANN community has created a sustainable approach to providing support to applicants, particularly those from developing economies as they apply for and operate new gTLDs.

The site is easy to use and all information’s about basic material can be found under the ‘’About’’ tab. Information on educational materials, interviews with CEOs of current internet registries and presentations on how to complete the application form is available under the ‘’Applications’’ tab. Potential applicants are also eligible for financial and non-financial assistance through the Applicant Support Program. You can check the status of your gTDL application from January 2012 under the ‘‘Program Status’’ tab.  Journalists can check for latest news and events under the ‘’Announcements and Media ‘’ tab.

ICANN promises to be a multilingual platform. Many new gTLD related sources will be available, not only in English but in other languages, including factsheets and presentations.

This is just the beginning! Much more information and online tools are just a click away at http://newgtlds.icann.org/.
