The fresh fresh TLD opportunity – DNW Podcast #538

What to expect in the next round of fresh top level domain expansion.

It’s finally happening.

ICANN has published its Draft Applicant Guidebook for the next round of fresh top level domain expansion. Other than adding some deadlines, it’s likely to be more or less the final rulebook when applications open starting this time next year.

The Guidebook weighs in at a whopping 400 pages. So on today’s show, Christa Taylor of TLDz and I unpack the changes from the last round as we look forward to “fresh” fresh top level domains. Christa also talks regarding where demand will come from in the 2026 round and what we can expect from applicants.

Also: GoDaddy’s fresh Pro plan, Tesla, .Cloud changes, and more.
