ICANN Releases Fresh TLD Guidebook

ICANN releases yet another — but not necessarily final — applicant guidebook for fresh gTLDs.

As I promised in a post yesterday, ICANN has released another version of the fresh top level domain name guidebook today.

Although many will look at this is the final guidelines, there’s still room for changes. ICANN CEO Rod Beckstrom writes:

ICANN will provide further refinements to the Guidebook as warranted. In addition, information will be given on the process for providing assistance for potential applicants from developing countries. Details are right now under development by the Joint Applicant Support Working Group, staffed by independent stakeholders.

Here’s a link to the guidebook.
