ICANN has published the list of new gTLDs that organisations
have requested during the recent gTLD application period.
The gTLD program allowed organisations to apply for new gTLDs
that do not use the existing extensions such as .com or .au. A
total of 1,930 new gTLD applications were received, and can be
viewed at
http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/application-results/strings-1200utc-13jun12-en.
Comments on the applied-for gTLDS may be submitted through the
ICANN website until 12 August 2012, and will be forwarded to the
panels reviewing the applications. Such comments are not considered
formal objections and will not in themselves block an
application.
Formal objections to specific applications, for example if use
of the gTLD would infringe a trade mark or breach other legal
rights, must be lodged through a selected dispute resolution
provider. Formal objections may be made until the end of this
year.
