Overview
The Pre-Delegation Testing (PDT) process allows ICANN to determine if registries meet specific “technical and operational requirements”[1] deemed necessary to maintain a new gTLD. PDT includes testing registry system operations and DNS server operational infrastructure. [2] Resources, from self-testing tools to PDT FAQs can be found on ICANN's Pre-Delegation Testing Page.
- The PDT process is being changed and updated currently regarding data escrow requirements.[3]
