Applications for new gTLDs will be accepted between January and April 2012.<ref>[http://www.opensrs.com/blog/2011/06/icann-approves-new-gtlds-at-41st-international-meeting-in-singapore/ opensrs.com]</ref>

ICANN 41 was held in Singapore between 19 and 24 June 2011. It was hosted by iDA at the Raffles City Convention Centre.

During the opening ceremony of ICANN 41, Peter Dengate Thrush, then Chairman of the Board, reminded the audience of how much the Internet community and ICANN has come since its humble beginnings as a largely American cultural phenomenon originally overseen by the United States Federal Government.[1]

The conference involved approximately 1,341 total participants.[2]

Context

Departure of Peter Dengate Thrush

This meeting marks the departure of Peter Dengate Thrush from ICANN. He was influential in establishing what would become the ccNSO through his work with national and international Internet policy development with New Zealand; he became a board member of that body in December 2004. The ccNSO subsequently appointed him to the ICANN Board in 2005, then in 2007 he was elected as the Chairman, and has gone on to be re-elected three times.[3]

Following the departure of Peter Dengate Thrush at ICANN Singapore, Steve Crocker was unanimously appointed to act as Chairman of the Board. Bruce Tonkin was elected vice-chair.[4]

Outcomes

Foundation of NPOC

On June 24, 2011 NPOC was approved by the ICANN Board. The purpose of the NPOC is to represent, specifically, the operational concerns related to service delivery of not-for-profit and non-governmental organizations who are domain registrants in the DNS.[5] Efforts to form NPOC were started in January 2010, with Debra Hughes contributing a lot of effort in presenting the idea to the community.[6]

New gTLD Program

At ICANN 41, the ICANN Board approved a plan to increase the number of gTLDs. The new policy states that new gTLDs may be any word, in any language. The decision to proceed with the gTLD program follows many years of discussion, debate, and deliberation with the Internet community, business groups, and governments. Applications for new gTLDs will be accepted between January and April 2012.[7]
