ICANN, the organization responsible for the assignment of domain names has come out with some important news that will aparently change the way website domain extensions are registered.
Looks like in the future we are going to have much more naming options when registering domain names. Right now there are 21 top level domains such as .com .org .net to name a few that we are all familiar with. Check out this news article from ICANN that describes the additional options that will come available such as city extensions .nyc for new york, .yourbrandname or .trademarkname or even .industry such as .restaurant perhaps. Sounds exciting!
The Board approved this new implementation Thursday June 26th, 2008 and hopes to take affect in the second quarter of 2009.
