Will gTLDs help you rank higher in search results? - The range of generic top-level domains (gTLDs) is expanding to include new options such as .Hotel, .RealEstate and .Berlin.

Is the ICANN New gTLD Program a Draft for a V2 of the Internet? - A week ago I was discussing the alternative of a European Internet root with an ex-ICANN Board member. The idea that I like to develop in these discussions is to offer end-users a modern and cheaper naming system.

ICANN New gTLD Auction Proceeds Approaching $30 Million - While the debate continues as to whether most new gTLDs are a sound long-term investment for their registry operators, there's no disputing that the program has been an economic boom for ICANN.
