ICANN Webinar Will Introduce Complete Draft Applicant Guidebook

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) will host a webinar to introduce the complete draft Applicant Guidebook for the New Generic Top-Level Domains Program: Next Round. To accommodate multiple time zones, the interactive session will be offered twice on 3 June 2025. The aim is to prepare the ICANN community for the final Public Comment proceeding on proposed language for the Applicant Guidebook. The proceeding is expected to open on 30 May 2025 and close on 23 July 2025.

The community has had an opportunity to weigh in on draft sections of the Applicant Guidebook as it was being developed. While there have been four Public Comment periods, this is envisaged to be the only time that the entire draft guidebook will be open for review and input.

Beginning with a high-level overview of the applicant journey, the interactive webinar session will delve into topics such as Community Priority Evaluation, contention set resolution, fees, and community input, including objection and appeals.

The webinar takes place on Tuesday, 3 June, at 04:00-05:30 UTC and again at 16:30-18:00 UTC. To register please visit https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/V5IVFCXVT9qK_f1exR-cGQ.

About ICANN

ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address - a name or a number - into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a nonprofit public benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world.
