ICTP 347: Exploring the new generic top-level domain program with Lance Hinds and Carlton Samuels
Manage episode 477332719 series 2273704
As the internet becomes more integral to economic development, cultural diplomacy, and public governance, there may be strategic value in having custom generic top-level domains (gTLDs). Active participants in the global Internet Governance space, Lance Hinds and Carlton Samuels, are back to discuss ICANN’s New gTLD Program: Next Round, which is currently open. The conversation covered, among other things:
* the difference between country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) and gTLDs;
* the current state of use of ccTLDs in the Caribbean region;
* the New gTLD Program and the benefits that could be realised; and
* the challenges to Caribbean countries and organisations to apply for new custom gTLDs.
