The lottery will be held in mid-December, 2012. ICANN estimated that this should speed up the implementation of new gTLDs; new gTLDs will be released beginning in the second quarter of 2013, rather than the earlier estimate of the fourth quarter of 2013/first quarter of 2014. Initial evaluation results will be released at a rate of about 150 per week starting in March, 2013. Contracts and pre-delegation testing will be done at a rate of about 20 per week, which allows for about 1,000 new gTLDs to be introduced in any given year. [[IDN]] new gTLD applications will be given priority in the process; ICANN has explained that this is in the interest of better diversifying the Internet internationally.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/10729-new-gtld-winners-will-be-decided-by-lottery-after-all New gTLD Winners Will be Decided by Lottery After All, DomainIncite.com]</ref>

==Different Types of new gTLD Applications==
  −
The different types of new gTLD applications:<ref>[http://urbanbrain.jp/en/new-gtld/application-types/ New gTLD Application Types]</ref>
  −
* [[New gTLD Generic Applications|Standard or Generic TLD]] - under this type of application, the proposed new gTLD is open to the public for registration. The string does not have any restriction. These are mostly generic terms, though some applications for generic terms, most notably by [[Amazon]] and [[Google]] propose restricting the use of the TLD to solely corporate purposes
  −
* [[Community gTLD|Community TLD]]- the proposed new gTLDs under this application are restricted to a specific community  with high degree of social awareness. The application should be strongly supported by the community.  Examples of community TLDs include: [[.catholic]], [[.thai]], [[.aarp]]
  −
* [[New gTLD Geographic Applications|Geographical TLD]]- This type of application represents a particular city or region; support of the local government is required for these TLDs, examples include: [[.nyc]], [[.berlin]], [[.tokyo]]
  −
* [[New gTLD Brand Applications|Brand TLD]]- companies and organizations will be able to apply for their own TLDs using their brand names and trademarks. For example: [[.unicef]], [[.motorola]], [[.hitachi]], [[.deloitte]]
