Evaluation panels are to spend five months considering the merits of generic top level domain name<\/a> (gTLD) applications this summer, it has been announced.<\/p>\n

According to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN<\/a>), string and applicant reviews will be undertaken during the Initial Evaluation period, which will last from June 12th to November 12th 2012.<\/p>\n

String reviews will focus on whether an applied-for TLD is confusingly similar to an existing TLD or another applicant’s, whether the TLD violates a reserved string or whether it contributes to domain name system (DNS) instability.<\/p>\n

Applicant reviews focus on the applying organization to determine if they have demonstrated the appropriate technical, operational, and financial capabilities to run a registry.<\/p>\n

ICANN said the applicant’s proposed registry services will also be reviewed to determine whether they might cause DNS instability.<\/p>\n

In November, ICANN will post the outcome of the Initial Evaluation and reveal whether applications have passed or failed evaluation.<\/p>\n

“Some results may be posted earlier than this date. TLDs that failed the initial evaluation can request Extended Evaluation,” ICANN stated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
