Supporting New TLDs

It’s probably pretty obvious from previous posts here that we have an interest in the new TLD process. (ICANN’s plan to open up the domain market more by allowing organisations to run new domain extensions)

Earlier this week ICANN CEO, Rod Beckstrom, was sent a letter signed by a wide variety of companies, including us, urging ICANN to move forward with the new TLD process NOW.

Why?

Put simply, there’s no valid reason to delay, however there are plenty of valid reasons why further delays are a bad thing.

You can read the letter in its entirety here (PDF). There’s more coverage here.
