'''Digital Archery''' is a mechanism developed by the [[ICANN]] to determine the processing time or batch slots for each gTLD application using "target time variance." Digital archery was approved by ICANN during a special meeting of the [[ICANN Board]] on March 28. 2012.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/icann-approves-digital-archery-gtld-batching/ ICANN approves “digital archery” gTLD batching]</ref>

* '''Step 3''': The secondary time stamp will be calculated by the system using the time variance between step one (when the applicant entered his/her target time) and step two (when the message received date/time was generated/recorded). The example shows that the secondary time stamp between step one and step two is 3 seconds. An application will be included in an earlier batch to be processed if the time stamp is closer to 0, if the applicant selected to participate in the earliest batch to be processed.

* '''Step 4''': The batching selection process will combine the applicant's batching preferences, the secondary time stamp and the geographic region of a specific new gTLD application to determine which applicants end up in which batches.
