Frequently asked questions on the process

1. Are you selling these new names?
ICANN is not "selling" new top level domain names. There will be a limited application period where any established entity from anywhere in the world can submit an application that will go through an evaluation process. It is anticipated that there will be additional rounds relatively soon after the close of the first application round.

2. What's to stop others registering my brand name?
Trademarks will not be automatically reserved. But there will be an objection-based mechanism for trademark owners where their arguments for protection will be considered.

3. How did this proposal get developed?
ICANN has a multi-stakeholder policy development process that served as the foundation for the process design. It involved consultation with domain name industry, trade mark attorneys, the business sector, users, governments and technicians.

4. How will offensive names be prevented?
Offensive names will be subject to an objection-based process based on public morality and order. This process will be conducted by an international arbitration body utilizing criteria drawing on provisions in a number of international treaties. ICANN will not be the decision maker on these objections.

5. When will all this happen?
ICANN is working towards accepting the first applications in the second quarter of 2009 | icann announcement

what i don't get, why don't people use the left side for their variations but insist on the .right?

at least one argues in that direction on an old icann blog entry, august 2007.

Meine Ansicht, stark verkürzt:
Beliebige gTLDs: überflüssig, wenn nicht sogar böse
IDN TLDs: eher gut, wenngleich es das Netz parzellieren wird.

nicht uninteressant: ie: wer bestimmt schreibweise? |circleID, wieviele sprachvarianten werden für eine site registriert werden?? (die frage stellt sich ja auch bei IDN, wenn jetzt noch gTLD dazu nimmst, explodiert das ganze dann?

ist IDN und gTLD part of the same problem?

discussion 2007: "Vint says we'll be talking about that this week -- new gTLDs and IDN TLDs are the same. We should treat them all as new TLDs. "So the ensemble of TLDs expressed using internationalized characters needs to be treated as a whole.. this coalesces into a common expression." (This is a point of view with which I agree.) Vint goes on -- "I'm not sure that "translations" are a practice that we should endorse - I'd rather see proposals for new TLDs that are specific and unique." I agree. | susan crawford

Ich muss gestehen, dass ich diesen Rundumschlag, dass plötzlich jeder Depp seine eigene TLD registrieren können soll, nicht habe kommen sehen, obwohl ich mich durchaus ab und an mit der ICANN beschäftige. Die müssen ganz schön viel Druck von Seiten der virtuellen Immobilienmakler bekommen haben. Schäbiges Geschäft, wie in der Realität.
