Current Affairs 2011. ICANN’s (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) Board of Directors approved the new top level domain name program in Singapore on 20 June 2011.

ICANN’s (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) Board of Directors approved the new top level domain name program in Singapore on 20 June 2011. The resolution approving the program gave provision for more discussion on various parts of the plan to roll out hundreds of new top level domain names. One of the big areas was registry-registrar cross ownership.

The plan was to start the communications period (read: marketing) for new top level domain names immediately, but not accept applications until January 12, 2012. The application period would end April 12, 2012 and initial evaluations will be published in November 2012. So, the probability of new TLDs online is 2013.
