'''.desi''' is a proposed new [[TLD]] in [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program]]. The string was originally applied for by both [[Afilias]] and [[Desi Networks LLC]], though the latter prevailed in a August 2013 auction held by [[Innovative Auctions]]. The total amount was not disclosed though the 8 total auctions were cumulatively valued at $9.65 million.<ref>[http://www.applicantauction.com/blog/2013/8/15/second-applicant-auction-concluded-successfully-8-domains-965m Second Applicant Auction, Concluded Successfully 8 domains 965m, ApplicantAuction.com] Published Aug 15th</ref>
