The public comment period for the second draft of the guidebook for the new gTLD extensions closes on Monday.

What’s at stake?

Much more than just the rules for the new gTLDs. What ICANN winds up doing on these new extensions, will impact all existing extensions, including .com’s.

The question box went live two-and-a-half weeks prior to the start of ICANN’s 34th international public meeting in Mexico City. Its aim is to give members of the community an opportunity to ask questions of ICANN’s staff and Board without having to be physically present at the various public forum.

In a sternly worded letter to ICANN , International Olympic Committee (IOC) said it reserves the right to “take action against ICANN for damages resulting to the IOC or the Olympic Movement from the implementation of the gTLD proposal.”
