First 4 New gTLD’s (ALL IDN’s) Cleared By ICANN To Go To Delegation

October 21, 2013 by Michael Berkens

According to an announcement by ICANN, today, the first four domains from ICANN’s New Generic Top-Level Domains Program were cleared to proceed to delegation.

These first new gTLDs, or strings, are:

  • شبكة (xn--ngbc5azd) – the Arabic word for “Web” or “Network”
    Registry : International Domain Registry Pty. Ltd.
  • онлайн (xn--80asehdb) – Russian for “Online”
    Registry: Core Association
  • сайт (xn--80aswg) – Russian for “Web site”
    Registry: Core Association
  • 游戏 (xn--unup4y) – Chinese for “Game”
    Registry: Spring Fields, LLC

All four of these new strings are Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs).

IDNs are currently available as Second-Level Domains and country code Top-Level Domains, but this will be the first time non-Latin characters can be used in a generic TLD.

International Domain Registry Pty. Ltd, Core Association and Spring Fields, LLC (Donuts) were the applicants for the four first new gTLD’s to be cleared to be delegated.
