July 3, 2007 | In: Internet
ICANN, the corporation that takes of internet domain names, has announced that there are plans to include more TLDs (Top-level domain names such as .com, .net and others) during 2008.
The public statement was made after a meeting in Puerto Rico, in which Dr. Paul Twomey – president of ICANN – said:
With the progress we’ve made in San Juan, we’re on track for the new applications and approvals policy to be ready for the start of 2008 and the introduction of new TLDs by mid-year.
There were other interesting details about future changes on ICANN, such as:
- expanding the number of characters of a domain name
- change the agreement with registrars so it becomes easier to eliminate the companies that are doing a bad job, like RegisterFly for example which was “terminated” by ICANN recently
