'''Community gTLD''' is one of the different categories of generic top level domain names ([[gTLD]]s) created by the [[ICANN|Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers]], which is primarily intended for community groups that are interested in operating their own TLD Registry. Community gTLDs should represent and receive strong support from a clearly defined group of people who will benefit from the TLD such as cities, cultural, regional, geographical, religious and social groups as well as industry sectors.<ref>[http://www.newgtldsite.com/community-gtlds/ Community gTLDs]</ref> A good example of community group that represents a clearly defined group of people that maybe qualified to apply for a community gTLD is the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP).
