==Batching==
Popularized during ICANN 42 was batching, the term for dividing [[new gTLD]] applications into manageable batches of 500. During a [[GNSO]] working session in Dakar, ICANN Senior Vice President [[Kurt Pritz]] announced that all applicants who filed between January 12th and April 12th would have an equal opportunity of being in any batch. ICANN did not detail how the batches would be processed, though a "charity auction" method has been ruled out and a random selection seems preferred, if workable under proper laws.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/6618-new-gtlds-no-advantage-to-applying-early New gTLDs: no advantage to applying early], DomainIncite.com.
