*ICANN Announces Conclusion of New **gTLD Initial Evaluations*

*Major Milestone Reached in New Domain Program*



*Los Angeles, California…* ICANN’s Generic Domains Division announced today
the conclusion of the Initial Evaluation (IE) phase of the new generic
Top-Level Domains (gTLD) program. More than 1,700 applications have now
moved to the next steps in the program.

“This is an extraordinary landmark which demonstrates the progress in this
program,” said Akram Atallah, President of ICANN’s Generic Domains
Division. "We are looking forward to the innovations that these new
introductions will enable on the Internet."

Out of the 1,930 new gTLD applications submitted, a total of 1,745
applications passed Initial Evaluation, 32 have gone into Extended
Evaluation, and 121 were withdrawn from the program.

“It would be an understatement to say we are excited to reach this point,”
said Christine Willett, Vice President of gTLD Operations. "Applicants
worked hard on their applications and the evaluations were complex and
rigorous. We are pleased that 90% of the original applications passed
Initial Evaluation – this is a clear and distinct success."

Applications that passed IE will proceed through the program based on their
complexity. Some may move straight to the Transition to Delegation phase,
while others may have to go through additional steps, such as dispute
resolution and string contention.

As another indicator of the progression of the New gTLD Program, 12
additional registry agreements have just been signed, 11 of which are the
first English character TLDs. The contracts govern the registry and
administration of a dozen new gTLD’s.

ICANN’s new gTLD program is the result of 8-years of study, 47 public
comment periods, which produced over 2,400 comments, 55 explanatory
memoranda and 7 versions of the new gTLD Applicant guidebook.

*About ICANN: **ICANN’s mission is to ensure a stable, secure and unified
global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet you have to type
an address into your computer - a name or a number. That address has to be
unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN coordinates these
unique identifiers across the world. Without that coordination we wouldn't
have one global Internet. ICANN was formed in 1998. It is a not-for-profit
public-benefit corporation with participants from all over the world
dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable. It
promotes competition and develops policy on the Internet’s unique
identifiers. ICANN doesn’t control content on the Internet. It cannot stop
spam and it doesn’t deal with access to the Internet. But through its
coordination role of the Internet’s naming system, it does have an
important impact on the expansion and evolution of the Internet.** *
