| | {{Template:IntroductionText}} |
| <br />
| | </div> |
| A [[Community TLD]] is a regulated type of [[gTLD|generic top level domain name]] (gTLD) made possible through [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program]]; it is intended for community groups that are interested in operating their own TLD [[registry]].
| |
| Community TLDs must represent a clearly delineated group or groups of people or entities. Examples could include cultural, religious, social or industry associations. The existence of the group must be clearly established.
| |
| Community groups are given precedence for TLDs in contention; that is, if there are multiple applicants for a given string, and one of the applicants applies and proves community status, the community group is automatically given precedence to the TLD. Community status is proven through a process known as '''Community Priority Evaluation'''.<br /><br />

| [[.com]] is one of the first [[TLD]]s to be used on the Internet's [[Domain Name System]]; it was originally intended for commercial purposes, though there are no current restrictions limiting it to commercial entities. It was introduced in 1985 by [[IANA]], which is responsible for the overall coordination and management of the DNS; the organization was led by [[Jon Postel]] at the time. On January 28, 1986, the entities overseeing the DNS met and restructured its makeup to correspond to 8 TLDs, including .com, the others are: [[.gov]] (government), [[.edu]] (American higher education), [[.mil]] (American military), [[.org]] (organization), [[.int]] (international, specifically NATO relations), [[.net]] (sites related to the Internet itself), and [[.bitnet]] (computers on the BITNET network).
