A few things I read about new gTLDs recently

1. Google Inc: GOOG alters algorithm in preparation for launch of new gTLDs; value of new gTLDs tipped to increase significantly, click here;
2. Public comment on the revised draft of the New gTLD Registry Agreement, click here;
3. .VIN & .WINE new gTLDs: CHAMPAGNE wines strongly support the position expressed by the GAC, click here;
4. An applicant is pissed by ICANN delays and explains consequences of these multiple delays, click here;
5. New TLD applicants can learn some lessons from .TEL, click here.

There is more on the "new generic Top-Level Domains" group on LinkedIn (almost 1200 members). It is free to join, to discuss and ask questions.
