The generic top level domain name<\/a> (gTLD) program – scheduled to be rolled out next week – should not be delayed, the chairman of the Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN<\/a>) has argued.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the National Journal, Stephen Crocker dismissed calls to hold back the application process, which is due to get underway on January 12th 2012.<\/p>\n

ICANN has faced repeated criticism from certain groups – including bodies representing retailers and advertisers – over its controversial gTLD plan.<\/p>\n

Under the new regime, businesses and organizations will be able to register their own customized domain name suffixes, creating new online real estate.<\/p>\n

Mr. Crocker questioned what value a delay to the process would offer, particularly given that critics have yet to identify a specific problem with the domain name initiative.<\/p>\n

He said the ICANN board had listened to view from a variety of bodies during the consultation period, and was confident that the gTLD program will be a success.<\/p>\n

Opposing parties will not be satisfied with a delay, Mr. Crocker added – they want to see the gTLD idea scrapped altogether.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
