ICANN is considering the use of auctions as a tie-breaking mechanism within the new gTLD process, in some cases where there is more than one qualified applicant for an identical or similar TLD string. In some specific cases involving community based applications, ICANN is also considering a comparative evaluation mechanism. No final decision has been made.
