You should post the intro to the new gTLD group on LinkedIn: 3000 subscribers : https://www.linkedin.com/groups/1840166/ Jean Guillon +33.(0)6.31.10.98.37 Le mar. 10 juin 2025, 13:54, Christian Dawson via Newgtldprogram < newgtldprogram@icann.org> a écrit :
Dear ICANN Community,
We’re excited to share that the Domain Name Association (The DNA) <https://thedna.org/>, a project of the Internet Infrastructure Coalition (i2Coalition), has launched <https://i2coalition.com/new-gtld-resource-directory-launched/> a new *gTLD Resource Directory* to support prospective applicants for the next round of ICANN’s New gTLD Program.
You can view the live directory here: [image: thedna-share-image@2x.jpeg]
New gTLDs <https://thedna.org/new-gltds/> thedna.org <https://thedna.org/new-gltds/> <https://thedna.org/new-gltds/>
This new resource offers a vetted list of trusted service providers — from registry backend operators to legal, compliance, marketing, and technical experts — who are ready to support gTLD applicants. It’s the product of direct requests from this community, aimed at filling a gap that ICANN itself, due to its neutrality, cannot address.
*When prospective applicants ask, “Who can help me apply?” ICANN cannot recommend providers — but the broader community can. This directory is designed to be that missing link: a community-driven guide to help new entrants find reliable, experienced partners.*
*How You Can Help*
We would love your support in sharing this resource with anyone in your network who may be considering applying for a gTLD in the upcoming round. This is version one — just the start — and we want it to reach the people who need it most.
*Want to Be Listed?*
Participation is open to all qualified providers. If your organization would like to be considered for inclusion in the next update, you can apply here: [image: thedna-share-image@2x.jpeg]

Listings are reviewed by an advisory group of industry peers. There’s no membership requirement to be listed.
*What’s Coming Next?*
We’ll be expanding the directory in the months ahead to include:
-
Detailed provider bios and service descriptions -
Improved filtering and categorization -
Educational content for prospective applicants -
Regular updates based on community feedback
Thank you to everyone in the ICANN community who helped shape this effort. We’re proud to launch this resource at ICANN83 in Prague — and we’re just getting started.
All the best,
Christian Dawson *Executive Director* i2Coalition <http://i2coalition.com> c: 703 623 2612
