Added sessions on New gTLD Program.
[[ICANN]]’s [[New gTLD Program]] was introduced in 2012 as a way to open up competition in the [[domain name]] markets. Rather than rely solely on the standard [[.com]], [[.edu]], etc., the new [[gTLD]]s have delivered broader options in meaning for consumers. Now that the first round of gTLDs have concluded, domainers and industry professionals have their eye on the future of these extensions--will these new top level domains edge into the mainstream, what are their best uses, and how will they succeed after so many years of .com?
