Will ICANN require that current second-level-domain-name holders in .com, .net, and .org be given an opportunity to register their names before the general public?
Applicants should propose mechanisms to deal with start-up issues for the proposed TLD in a way that takes account of the rights and expectations of existing domain-name holders, trademark owners, and others. See Item E15 in the Description of TLD Policies. At this stage of the new TLD program, there is no fixed set of required mechanisms in this regard, such as giving a preferential opportunity for registration in the proposed TLD to domain-name holders in the existing TLDs. One factor that will be considered in evaluating proposals is the adequacy of the proposed mechanisms for allocation of names during the start-up phase of the proposed TLD.
