New [[TLD]] contracting
New [[TLD]] contracting
== Application ==
The TLD Application System ([[TAS]]) is ICANN’s online application system for registering new gTLDs. Applicants were required to register and submit their completed applications within the designated time frame in order to be considered <ref> gTLD Applicant Guidebook, pdf version 2012-06-04 </ref>.
== Contracting Information Request (CIR) ==
== CIR Substantive Review ==
== Registry Agreement (with Code of Conduct Exemptions) ==
== Pre-Delegation Testing ==
The Pre-Delegation Testing (PDT) process allows ICANN to determine if registries meet specific “technical and operational requirements” <ref> Milestone: First of the Contracted Registries Pass Pre-Delegation Testing, http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/announcements-and-media/announcement-26aug13-en </ref> deemed necessary to maintain a new gTLD.
==Post-Delegation Processes==
=== Sunrise Period ===
The [[Sunrise Period]] gives trademark holders a minimum of 30 days to register domain names that match their trademarks before these names become publicly accessible. <ref> FAQs: Trademark Clearinghouse, http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/about/trademark-clearinghouse/faqs </ref> Additionally, notice must be given to all trademark holders in the clearinghouse when new gTLDs enter this process. <ref> gTLD Applicant Guidebook, pdf version 2012-06-04, p. 296 </ref>
=== Trademark Clearinghouse ===
Registries are required to submit new gTLDs to the [[Trademark Clearinghouse]] (TMC or TMCH), which was established in order to protect intellectual and trademarked property. Attempts to register a mark that is already within the system will lead to notification. <ref> FAQs: Trademark Clearinghouse, http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/about/trademark-clearinghouse/faqs </ref>
