ICANN: Introduction of new TLDs go according to plan

ICANN: Introduction of new TLDs go according to plan

Yet ICANN boss Rod Beckstrom currently touring through all five
continents to awaken to a craving for new top-level domains (TLDs). The
Clock is ticking on the 12th January 2012 companies and organizations
are allowed to apply for them to manage on their own chosen its Top
Level Domain (TLD) registry. On Thursday invited Beckstrom, seconded by
Deputy eco -chairman Oliver Süme, potential candidates and journalists
to Berlin. Have company representatives who were interested in a new TLD
can not be determined - which can not just close to a lot of interest on
the free economy operating a registry.

Whether he is expecting a huge rush of applicants, would not disclose
the chief of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. It
could be a few hundred, but even a few thousand, he said. The test
procedure was designed for her by the capacity to process more than 1000
applications. Will these numbers are exceeded, would probably be
retrofitted. Beckstrom, according to ICANN is to prepare not done yet,
but lies well within schedule.


ICANN chief Rod Beckstrom. "A registry is running on 'big business'
ICANN's chief repeatedly defended the high cost of 185,000 U.S. dollars,
which are due for a job finally if it were to permit, or a registry to.
operate. This is "big business", and the tests covered all sorts of
technical, economic and legal aspects. Although the first to hear sum
up, the future operation of the registry but is more expensive. ICANN
operates in the U.S. as home non-profit non-profit organization.

Süme confirmed that the eco association go out depending on the
underlying business model of additional start-up costs of 500,000 to one
million euros. Nevertheless, the eco-director is sure that in Germany
there is a need for new TLDs. As a company could own the TLD is an
important "marketing tool" to be. As an example, led to Süme that Google
and other search engines, the new domains will be treated safely,
preferably so that they could also serve as a tool for better placement.
