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.

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 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.

Article of the Week

Community TLD
A Community TLD is a regulated type of 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.
