After more than seven years of planning, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has begun accepting applications for the new generic top-level domains (gTLDs). The world of .com, .gov, .org and 19 other gTLDs will soon be expanded to include all types of words in many different languages and for the first time, generic TLDs can also include words in non-Latin languages, such as Cyrillic, Chinese or Arabic.

In only a few days, ICANN (the body that regulates Internet naming conventions) will be opening its doors to applications to run the next generation of domain extensions (the new form of .com, .net, .org).
This momentous occasion is set to revolutionize the nature of the Internet domain name space forever. No longer will companies, which have the foresight to apply, be constantly battling cybersquatters for their brand name, acquiring domain names already registered at hugely inflated prices in an over populated market and spending way more than necessary chasing brand misuse from online counterfeiters, phishers and fakers.

New generic top-level domain applicants will have to find between $18,000 and $300,000 per gTLD to cover the risk of their business failing, according to DomainIncite.
ICANN revealed the figures, which have been calculated from prices quoted by 14 potential emergency back-end registry operators.

From Stephane Van Gelder, Head of Group NBT's New gTLD Team and Chair of ICANN's Generic Names Supporting Organization:
In late December, I received a "Happy Christmas" call from ICANN's CEO Rod Beckstrom. A thoughtful gesture, but more importantly a great opportunity to ask him about the current anti-new gTLD pressure that seems to be building in the US.
