https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann-to-host-question-and-a… The New Generic Top-Level Domains (gTLD) Program: 2026 Round opens on 30 April. In the run-up, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is focusing on ensuring that all who wish to participate are prepared to take part in the program. Along with making a variety of support resources<https://newgtldprogram.icann.org/en/application-rounds/round2/2026-round-ge…> available, ICANN is hosting a new webinar series dedicated to answering questions about the TLD Application Management System (TAMS) and other aspects of the 2026 Round gTLD application process. TAMS is the online system used by applicants, ICANN staff, and evaluation panelists to manage, process, and submit new gTLD applications. While the focus of the webinars will be on how to use TAMS, potential applicants are invited to pose questions on other aspects of the gTLD application and evaluation processes as well. Pre-submitted questions will be prioritized during the four webinars. Attendees are invited to submit questions using this submission form<https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/019d4af86f4871a8a4f7826847f756e1>.
