'''Delegation''' is a term that, in the [[Domain Name]] industry, refers to the process of entering a new [[Top Level Domain]] into the [[Root Zone]] of the [[Internet]].

It is a process that is facilitated by [[ICANN]] and [[IANA]].<ref>[http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/delegated-strings Delegated String, ICANN.org] Retrieved 09 Jan 2014</ref>
