The order of delegation of new gTLDs will determine the toss
More than three months have passed since ICANN canceled Digital Archery, an unusual procedure by which it was planned to determine the order of consideration of applications for new top-level domains.
And only today, ICANN announced a new way to prioritize - no longer reviewing applications (ICANN decided to consider all applications at once), and the start of negotiations about the contract, preliminary testing, and, finally, the delegation of a new gTLD.
The order will be determined by lot. The fact that such a simple decision was not made immediately is due to the fact that laws that forbid lotteries apply in California. Only non-profit draws are allowed, and permission to hold this event should be requested from the relevant state bodies. ICANN has applied for the draw, which must be accepted by the end of November of this year.

The draw itself will be held in the first half of December - between the 4th and 15th of this month. ICANN notes that the draw will be held manually to avoid incidents associated with possible program errors, as was the case with Digital Archery.
ICANN plans to conduct contract negotiations and pre-testing with no more than 20 applicants per week. No more than 1000 new domains will be delegated per year. Preference will be given to non-Latin (IDN) domains.
The first negotiations on the terms of the contract with applicants for new domains and preliminary testing will be held after the ICANN meeting in Beijing, which will be held in April 2013. The delegation of the first new gTLDs will take place in the second or third quarter of 2013.
