The [[New TLD contracting]] page is an outline of the Contracting process for [[New gTLD Program|New gTLD]] applicants as defined by [[ICANN]]. It is our goal to supplement this with actual contracting timelines and action items that are encountered by new [[TLD]] applicants. The document walks through pre-delegation testing, transition to [[IANA]] and delegation, [[Registry]] onboarding, and real-life applicant examples, among other steps. <br /><br />
A [[Brand TLD]] is an innovative type of top level domain name ([[TLD]]) that is made possible through the implementation of [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program]]. A Brand TLD provides the opportunity for branded corporations to use their corporate name as their website's top-level identifier instead of using a more traditional [[.com]] or [[.biz]] domain space. Brands represent 34% of the applied for 1,930 applications; a total of 664 brand applications were submitted to ICANN. A Brand TLD is not a separate category of TLD such as [[GeoTLD]] or [[Community TLD]] as defined by the [[Applicant Guidebook]]. Some speculate that ICANN may formalize the rules for a Brand TLD in any future TLD expansion round.

Brands represent 34% of the applied for 1,930 applications; a total of 664 brand applications were submitted to ICANN.
