The list of new gTLDs was ready even before approval of the registration rules.
The ICANN Board of Directors at a special meeting in Singapore on June 20, 2011 approved a transition plan to simplified rules for registering common first-level domain zones. In fact, now a first-level domain can be obtained by any corporation in semi-automatic mode. It is enough to comply with the basic rules (the company must be known, with a 10-year history), pay a registration fee of $ 185 thousand plus additional payments - and you can receive your domain zone. The ICANN Board of Directors vote and the months-long discussion procedure are no longer required and the requirement of “public importance” of the domain zone does not apply.
According to ICANN itself, after the start of accepting applications under the new rules from January 12, 2012, we can expect about 200-300 new domain zones per year with a maximum limit of 1000 per year. The .canon , .ibm domains will be among the first to be registered, and other manufacturers will probably follow them. There are about a hundred applications in the queue.
The procedure for registering a domain under the new rules is described in detail in the Applicant Guidebook (PDF).
Very soon we will only have to remember that there were times in the history of the Internet when top-level domains could be counted on the fingers of one hand. Recall that the first five domains were approved by RFC 920 in October 1984:
')
.com - for commercial sites;
.edu - for educational sites;
.gov - for websites of US government organizations;
.mil - for US military organizations;
.org - for non-profit organizations.
Almost immediately, the .net domain was added to them - for sites whose activities are connected with the Network.
In November 1988, at the request of NATO, the .int domain was registered for international organizations. Initially, they planned to deploy infrastructure databases, but later they selected the .arpa domain zone for these purposes.
As of June 2011, 25 top-level domain zones (not counting national) are used on the Internet, including the .xxx zone, which was finally approved in March 2011.
