===Data Escrow and the New gTLDs===
The [[New gTLD Program]] was developed to increase competition and choice in the domain name space. As the New generic Top-Level Domains (new gTLDs) become a reality, ICANN is carefully preparing applicants for their new role as Registry Operators.
The [[New gTLD Program]] was developed to increase competition and choice in the [[Domain Name]] space. As the New generic Top-Level Domains (new [[gTLD]]s) become a reality, [[ICANN]] is carefully preparing applicants for their new role as Registry Operators.
One of the requirements of operating a new gTLD is to engage an independent entity to act as a data escrow agent. This neutral, trusted third party (such as Iron Mountain) will provision your data escrow services as specified by the Registry Agreement. Data escrow is one of the five critical registry functions and is a requirement for all new gTLDs. It is covered in question #38 of the application, and details are given in Specification 2 of the Registry Agreement. New gTLD applicants need to articulate that a plan is in place to escrow gTLD data.
