ALERTS from the Secretariat New Top-Level Domain Name Applications Revealed
by Benedetta Rossi June 14, 2012

June 14, 2012

/*June 13, 2012*/ /*For Immediate Release*/ *New Top-Level Domain Name Applications Revealed * *Historic Milestone for the Internet's Domain Name System * /*London, U.K.... */The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) today revealed who has applied for which generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) names in what is expected to become the largest expansion in the history of the Internet's Domain Name System. A total of 1,930 new gTLD applications were received during the application period of the new generic Top-Level Domain program. "We are standing at the cusp of a new era of online innovation," said Rod Beckstrom, President and Chief Executive Officer. "That means new businesses, new marketing tools, new jobs, and new ways to link communities and share information." Beckstrom made the comments during a London news conference, where it was revealed which organizations have applied for which specific domain names. Senior Vice President Kurt Pritz noted that the applications will now be subject to a public comment and objection period, and a rigorous, objective and independent evaluation system. "A 60-day comment period begins today, allowing anyone in the world to submit comments on any application, and the evaluation panels will consider them," said Pritz. "If anyone objects to an application and believes they have the grounds to do so, they can file a formal objection to the application. And they will have seven months to do that." Of the 1,930 applications received: * 66 are geographic name applications. * 116 applications are for Internationalized Domain Names, or IDNs, for strings in scripts such as Arabic, Chinese, and Cyrillic. Applications were received from 60 countries and territories, broken down by ICANN's geographic regions; * 911 from North America. * 675 from Europe. * 303 are from Asia-Pacific. * 24 from Latin America and the Caribbean. * 17 from Africa. Beckstrom noted that the applications from Latin America/Caribbean and Africa would be the first gTLDs ever from those regions. He also pointed out that the new gTLD program is the result of seven years of international consultation and debate among a wide variety of Internet stakeholders. ### To see who has applied for which generic Top-Level Domain, go here: http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/application-results To post comments on applications, go here: http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/application-comments To file an objection, go here: http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/objection-dispute-resolution To obtain background information on the new generic Top-Level Domain program, go here: http://www.icann.org/en/news/press/kits/reveal-day-13jun12-en.htm For information on ICANN's geographic regions, go here: http://archive.icann.org/en/meetings/montreal/geo-regions-topic.htm <http://www.icann.org/en/resources/policy/background/geo-regions> *MEDIA CONTACTS: *Brad White Director of Global Media Affairs Tel. +1 202.570.7118 brad.white(a)icann.org <mailto:brad.white@icann.org> Andrew Robertson Edelman Public Relations London, U.K. Tel. + 44 (7811) 341 945 andrew.Robertson(a)edelman.com <mailto:andrew.Robertson@edelman.com> James Cole ICANN Washington, D.C.

To reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address into your computer - a name or a number. That address has to be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN coordinates these unique identifiers across the world. Without that coordination we wouldn't have one global Internet. ICANN was formed in 1998. It is a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with participants from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable. It promotes competition and develops policy on the Internet's unique identifiers. ICANN doesn't control content on the Internet. It cannot stop spam and it doesn't deal with access to the Internet. But through its coordination role of the Internet's naming system, it does have an important impact on the expansion and evolution of the Internet./*/For more information please visit: /*/*www.icann.org*/ <http://www.icann.org/>/*.*/ If you would rather not receive future communications from ICANN, let us know by clicking here. <http://ICANN.pr-optout.com/OptOut.aspx?523509x19831x78151x1x3785396x24000x6…> ICANN, 4676 Admiralty Way Suite 330, Marina del Rey, CA 90292 United States

FY13 Operating Plan and Budget Comment
by Chris Chaplow June 11, 2012

June 11, 2012

Dear BC Members, Please find attached comments that I have submitted on the FY13 Operating Plan and Budget. We anticipate that the BC and the CSG will submit more detailed comments in the reply round which opens tomorrow until the 15th June. I have asked a lot of clarification questions and drawn on material from our Framework Budget submission as I dont think it was adequately addressed at that time. I think we should focus on the 25 individual project comments in the reply round. Best regards, Chris Chaplow Managing Director Andalucia.com S.L. Avenida del Carmen 9 Ed.
