When can I apply for a new gTLD?
The program is still under development and the specifics on the date and time for applications have not yet been established or published. ICANN has begun an extended period of outreach and information sharing to ensure that potential applicants have all the information they need to prepare and lodge a successful application. Once this process has been completed, ICANN will announce the date for new gTLD applications. ICANN expects to open the application period in 2010, following the publication of the final Applicant Guidebook.
