Since last summer ICANN has approved 1,574 applications for new “top-level domains”. Donuts Inc., a domain registry company in Bellevue, Wash., filed the most applications and will manage at least 149 open suffixes, each with its own pricing structure.
ICANN initially accepted proposals for closed or restricted generic domains, a practice Jon Leibowitz, a former chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, describes as posing “competition concern” as it could limit competing views and businesses.
Charleston Road Registry, a unit of Google, plans to open certain of its new suffixes – like .ads, .boo, .dad and .how – to public registration but laid out a more restrictive approach to other generics like .App.
