Next gTLDs: 2016 or 2019? -
On September 22, 2014, ICANN published an analysis of the review and assessment work that remains to be done before a new round of gTLD (generic Top Level Domain) applications can be initiated.
According to the document, 2016 is the earliest a call for the next lot of applications to operate an Internet suffix could come.
To many, a subsequent application window so soon after the 2012 round seems unrealistic. ICANN has committed to undertaking a full review of that first round before moving ... read more ...

New gTLD Abuse Trends Beginning to Emerge -
With just over 2.4 million New gTLDs registered, abuse trends are beginning to emerge.
Earlier this month we conducted a review of the top 100 most highly-trafficked Web property names across the top 5 most popular new gTLD registries. It is apparent that the abuse we had expected has occurred — just not where we had anticipated.
For example, .Wang leads the pack in terms of abusive registrations with 47% of the top 100 Web property names registered to third-parties. For the other top ... read more ...

How Will The New Dot.Tickets Domain Impact The Way People Buy Tickets … -
While the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers is a nonprofit, over the course of it’s 15 years in existence it’s created a tremendous amount of wealth. As the organization responsible for creating new subdomains on the Internet, ICANN, as it’s known, decides what makes up the Internet. While it started with just .com, .edu, .gov and .mil, it’s expanded a lot since then.
Until 2011, the number of general top level domains (gTLDs) was fixed at 22 for non country-specific ... read more ...

Rightside Hackathon to Create Tools to Promote New TLDs -
Rightside manages 33 (and is in the running to manage several additional) new gTLD extensions, and the company operates popular domain registrars, Enom and Name.com. Clearly, it is in the company’s best (financial) interest to sell domain names in the new extensions, particularly the extensions the company manages and will manage.
On October 2nd and 3rd, Rightside will be holding an internal hackathon to come up with ideas that will help the company promote the new gTLDs and encourage usage ... read more ...

Health Experts Issue Call To Prevent ICANN’s Commercialization Of New .health … -
Last month, we wrote about a troubling decision by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to give control over the new .pharmacy domain to big pharma -- thus allowing it to lock out sites around the world that threaten its generous profit margins. An article in the journal "Globalization and Health" warns that something similar could be about to happen in the realm of public health:
In just a few weeks, the Internet could be expanded to include a new .health generic top-level ... read more ...

Why the dot-vegas launch is a ridiculous racket - Now that the inane hype and local media boosterism for the new “dot-vegas” top level domain name is beginning to subside, maybe someone with some sense will listen to the truth: It’s a racket, a waste of money and a doomed concept that someday will make a mockery out of all those civic leaders posing around that goofy .VEGAS sign. Seriously. It’s going to make the Las Vegas Monorail seem like a good idea. For the uninitiated, all Internet addresses have what are called “top level domains,” ... read more ...

Amazon Strikes Back with “.buy” -
Image by: Robert Scoble
As a new development in the scramble to acquire generic top-level domain names (gTLDs), Amazon is the latest to successfully make a move. Amazon recently purchased the gTLD “.buy” for a whopping $4.6 million dollars, outbidding competitors such as Google to receive the gTLD. When more than one party seeks to register a TLD, it may result in a bidding war between the two (or more) parties. Thus, the initial application ... read more ...
